    A friend of mine called me up about a week ago and offered me his twin turbo setup at a really good price since he bought a First Gen Camaro to do a single turbo setup. So I had to jump on the parts that he had to switch from a single to twins.

    2 freshly rebuild Master Power T70's with .68/ar. inter cooler kit and 2 Tial 38 mm wastegates plus misc parts.

    Here is where I am at now.

    Looks like a great start to me! Have you tried to get to your spark plugs with those style headers on? Only issue I see using the forward up headers is doing spark plug replacements might be a PITA..

    My last setup had forward facing headers too. I just access my plugs from underneath since I have a tubular k member. doesn't take long to change them.

    Thank you I wanted them to be out of the way and that was the best spot for them.

    I will see about bracing them once the down pipes and waste gate plumbing is done. But most likely I will.

    Given that they are quite a distance from the head (thus putting a large moment on the flange/piping) I would recommend bracing them

    Yeah, I will probably fab some braces up over the weekend since my piping kit wont be here until next week.

    Not much progress this weekend so far. I did get my radiator and Moroso catch cans in the mail yesterday. May have to weld a 90* onto the inlet of the radiator to fit the upper hose on.

    Not much progress lately. Been trying to figure out how I am going to do down pipes on the car. Lemme tell you....it was easier with the single turbo setup. lol
