Building twins with 3rd gen turbos

I want to build twins for the benefit of quicker spooling but don't need the high boost pressures.....so An HE341 over a Silver bullet.

completed welding the flange on the hot pipe. I sent both exhaust housings, manifold and hot pipe out to be coated.

update #1

Got all the pipes back and mocked it up on a block. Hopefully it'll be in the truck by the weekend.

Almost there

One long night and there in minus the charge pipes, but it's running with no oil leaks. Can't wait to road test with a charge pipe and see if the idea works. Ended up using a 62/80 instead for the bottom. The bung on the pan is a weld on unit for hydraulic tanks with 3/4" NPT and 7/8" hose.

bung is welded on to pan. Hood closes and has clearance for when the hose swell with boost.
