Re:quad turbo setup
My opinion is it would be a waste of time, money and four turbos. Why not just use one big ------- turbo and call it good. I'm guessing you are going to yank these four turbos out of the junkyard which means that they will all be worn different and putting off slightly different cfm/boost. Don't waist your time. If you really feel the need to cram a bunch of ---- under your hood just use two of them. Four turbos would be the biggest pain in the ***.

Re:quad turbo setup
yeah go with 2 turbos (one for each side) so you keep the exhaust piping and charge piping simple. I hope you're going to fuel inject that 383. I've heard properly jetting a carbed setup for turbos is basically impossible...you'll likey be way to rich down and/or way to lean up top as jets aren't progressive with rpms heh.

Re:quad turbo setup
i would probaly go with 2 grand national turbos(t4) with 20psi which will be more realistic than 4 turbos because i couldnt figure out how to intercool 4 turbos and i want to go 9's + keep it streetable by lowering boost via boost controller
this is where i got the idea keepin it homemade style
