Twin Turbo

February 17, 2005, 04:04:07 PM

i am looking to go big, really big. And put a twin turbo on my 302 cougar. I know all about having to get lower compression internals to handle the boost but does anyone know where i could get the exhaust side of things. Or a whole kit???

I am thinking that it would have to be custom made. You might could get some exhaust manifold off of a tc or xr7 and weld them in. You should prolly try to pm andrew beetle. He is making a twin turbo 5.0

Haystack has got it exactly right. Custom... custom, custom and more custom. There are 5.0 TT kits, but they include just the turbos and some of the plumbing.

are you going all new or trying to do the budget thing? how are your fabrication skills? i have an article on a econemy build. 2 turbos from turbo coupes (one for each side of the V8), manifolds flipped over and alot of home made/custom piping, cutting plumming....

I have some fabbing exp. Mig and oxy/ace welding. Gonna try tig soon. Put it this way if i cant figure it out it cant be done. it just might take me a week longer than a mechanic.

if a 351c with 2 twinscrew blowers can be done than i have no doubt the turbos could be done. they fit in a fox stang, they will fit in a tbird...

Hmmm. From the doors forward they're the same. Does not make a difference. Same chassis... everything.
