just a custom manifold and some tiny turbo's


It's been done, on the SVO I bought from Hal, and while it's very cool, you need a couple very small turbos, like T25s, and it's a lot of headache any time you have to change things.  You can't really buy T25s new, unless they're ball bearing Garretts, you can get them used from JDM Nissans, but if you buy new ones here in the US they run at least 750 a piece, so that's 1500 in turbos, you'll have 500 in plumbing everything, a custom exhaust manifold with two T25 style s, two wastegates possibly if you use external.  In the end the benefits are no greater than a split scroll single turbo with a proper header, for a LOT more cost.  I've had one of the turbos fail and will just go to single turbo I think.

Maybe you could get more benefit with a true sequential twin turbo setup like a Supra or FD RX7 has, but that would be even MORE complication with a few actuators and valves thrown in.  There's a reason why Supra and RX7 guys switch to big singles when they're going for a big upgrade in power.

Someone poured weaksauce in your Ford motor and turned it into a Chevy. :)


Nah he just put the motor in backwards!
