Weekend project
I decided that it's time to add some air to my truck so last weekend cummins2fast and myself started to fab up some twins. I just want to say I have a new found respect for people who build their own twins! It has been a fun project, but it's hard to come up with a decent design when you work in tight spaces. I know my hot pipe looks a little unconvetional, but with the way it is routed, I have all kinds of room to fab up a 5in downpipe without having to cut a hole in my floorboard. The progress is slow since weekends are the only time I can fit the project in my schedule, but they should be done soon.

This is one of the main reasons why I decided to go with twins. I decided I needed to try to clear up as much smoke as I could before I added the 14mm head and rotor. I get a chuckle every time I look at this picture.

Swank,
Good eye! You have guessed one of the turbos correctly. I also want to say thanks for answering some of my dumber questions. I'll post more pictures as we get the cold pipe welded. I cant wait to go for a ride and see how these turbos respond with each other. I'm expecting them to be a little laggy on the bottom end, but they should hit hard.

yeah. just wait till you give a buddy who drives a ford a ride. that's when you'll really have some fun. or stomp, and i do mean STOMP a 6.0. and yeah, more pics. i really dig seeing all the different set-ups. i put some new pics in my gallery showing my re-designed innercooler pipe. everything fits much better now. and if you've got any more ?'s (although it looks like you've got everything WELL under control) let me know.
