Turbo manifold idea...

i am one of those guys that think fluid dynamics are over rated in a turbo set up. what fits, what is easy to build, whats not too expensive, what will last are all more important to most people. just get the exhaust to the turbo and it will run hard hard enough that that last few hp is the last of your worries.
that being said i will likely step it up to better designed manifolds eventualy just to see for myself.

Most people on here are not trying to build a truck to compete competetively thus they don't need every bit they can get. 700rwhp would be plenty for my DD truck

A split turbine housing would work well with that setup. It would help keep the gases bundled. It works very well for the 4 banger crowd and since you're essentially doing the same thing....

That would separate the left bank by five and the right bank by 3 equally for each side of the turbo flang.
Basiclly it would fire: yellow left, yellow right, green left, green right, yellow left, yellow right, green left, green right. Just a idea.

Thanks for the comments guys. Im just trying to make the best of it. I emailed Jason, one of the tech guys at turbonetics the two pictures. He said he would show it to one of the engineers and get an opinion. Hopefully he will get back to me tomorrow.

It seems like in general, its like the fast and the furious has just hit this site, back 2 years ago after that movie came out everyone had a turbo honda or eclipse, not everyone has turbo/super truck...

It's because the technology and know-how is becoming better and more widespread. If I could afford a welder and some basic fabrication equipment I'd darn sure be trying to put something together right now...
