Well Im kind of new at the upgrade parts still but is there a cheaper way to get 2 turbos instead of buying the twin turbo kit. Like hook another on up?

thats what you get with kit, good product that has been fitted and tested. remember that when twins were being put together, those guys must have reworked turbo's piping, at least 4 times. if you want it and not sure about doing it, kits would be best way to go.

No, design, fabrication, and turbo selection is all up to you. You have to be proficient in mig/tig welding, custom metal fabrication, pipe bending and knowledge of angle fitment, etc. Not to mention the math and stuff required behind turbo sizing/selection.

No offence, but if you have to ask these questions, then you are better off just buying the pre-made kit. ;)

I agree with Ben on this. If you have to ask you should not be doing. I know it sounds Like I am being an a$$ but I am not. Save your self the headache. I think you are trying to learn but you need to learn from the guys that build them and go from there. If you try these on your own it could cost way more than a kit and not work near as well.IMO

I'd have to agree, it may be lots of money, but the kits are top notch, well worth it and that's what comes with all that money.........the expertise and the R&R behind making the kit top notch. It's not just a matter of adding a turbo and some piping in between. It takes some knowledge of what you're actually trying to accomplish and how to accomplish it. Save up man, you won't be dissapointed.
