Twin Turbo Headers Question

[kingcolbert83]

I got a lead on some sbc twin turbo headers. Anybody have any experience with these headers or seen them on a sbc? I ask this because I still want to retain a/c and I dont know if these headers will put the turbos in the way of it. If they do I will just go the remote mount setup in the rear.

are they the kind that mount the turbos up front of the engine or the kind that mount them beside the valve cover? pics would help. but id say if the are the one that place them above the valave covers it would interfere with the ac box. but the front facing headers for twins might work with some work of course

twin turbo you won't be able to put much of anything on the front end or engine bay. If not for the lack of room the heat. A rear mount IMO is a better bet, keep it away from the gas tank :shock:

and if you have any money to spend on a decent turbo I don't see why you'd need twins. Can buy one large turbo that spools relatively quickly, not cheap though

i've seen a lot of guys with good results running two small turbos. just stay away from ebay junk.

Heres an example, doesnt look like theres room for a/c. i would gladly take 2 turbo's over a/c any day.

the ebay turbos work, but you get what you pay for. ive known a few people start out with them cause theyre cheap, they build the setup around them then later can upgrade if needed. they make power but they only last 10-15000 miles.

Not here in Oklahoma, I'd take air conditioning over wheels.
