No experience with the twins....could this be made to work on my 93? what would have to change other than the 2nd gen. manifold?

That exhaust down-pipe won't work with your truck as it'll not pass the fire-wall.

You'll need a down-pipe that shoots straight down and back such as this . .



As far as the exhaust manifold, you may be able to simply use yours (not sure about the 2nd gen).

David, I saw your twin turbo project and wondered from your experience if this is a wothwhile undertaking for a daily driver? I am just an hp junkie that will be towing 11k once or twice a week 30 miles round trip. the truck is great now but kind of feels flat after the initial 40/50 mph burst. I just want more but am not sure the best direction to head in?

Exhaust manifolds are pretty much the same between 1st and 2nd gen 12 valve engines.

You could upgrade exhuast manifolds. I mean your already spending 1850 on the turbos so why not a $400 aftermarket manifold?
