Re: NE1 on here with a twin turbo setup on a V-8?
I did the front plenum throttle body deal years ago, with my old twin set-up
I sold that intake with the turbo set-up. I don't think I'll change back to a front mounted throttle body again though. there is just not that much heat soak to wqorry about because the charge pipe isa few inches from the turbo. I'd make a sheild, wrap the pipe or powder coat it if I did anything.
With the currecnt set-up, I'm not even running an intercooler just Alk/Water injection for now. I've been seeing some good results with the $200 OBX that everyone is selling on E-Ghey and I'm going to get one of those maybe for summer. Not to concerned about it right now (not to forget I'm having a new house built right now and I'll be stuck with 2 mortages until the current house sells or I rent it out) as I'm only going to run the car at the stock wastegate settings fornow (which I believe is 8#'s or so)

Daaamn! Nice!
I am glad I don't have shock towers on my 71' Camino..
That looks like fun, routing the charge pipes etc.
What kind of HP numbers you think you are pulling with the Fords?
Other ? is how the efi is working for ya'.
I am looking in to Accel Gen VII set up... but chingos of cash for that.
I may just run a TPI, but I hear the computers on those things bite.
Nice work guys!
