You have the demonstrated fabbing skills to do this! I will say I think the details and the cost of the little parts cost as much as the turbos themselves! Another thread here had a link to things like hot pipes and cold pipes already done for certain set-ups. Be prepared to be patient!

Mine uses the stock drain for the primary and then the small freeze plug by the oil filter is removed for the secondary. I don't see why you couldn't route two into one, but that seems like it would be a lot harder to do. You know, cheaper turbos like BHt3B-- you can buy two of those for almost the same as one expensive single... things to think about..

Not sure right now, but I will say it can nickle and dime you to death. I will be sure to add it all up in the end and put a list together. I bet it will be close to 3K.

Still have to finish building the hot pipe and the down pipe, oil drain for the top charger, and oil feeds for both.

I'll post more pics soon. Thanks for all the compliments.
