I was gonna make my own but, since I suck at the whole fabrication part it didn't quite work out like I wanted it.

I don't understand why you woul dwant twins though. Is it the same logic as having 3 or 4 nitrous bottles in the trunk?? Hahaha

Seriously, the general idea behind it is to reduce lag yet still retain big HP capability right? I just don't see lag being that big of an issue. It certainly is not on my system and the little lag I get I'm pretty sure wouldn't be helped with anything but a shot of nitrous.

Seems possible. It would probably cost close to 1.5 to 2X since it would require twice the intake tubing, two turbos (obviously), extra fab/design work for plumbing the air into a single MAF, etc. You could give STS a call and talk custom kits with them. I doubt they have plans for an off the shelf twin setup because they are getting pretty good results with the single turbo.

Cause it would look cool as hell when the hood is popped.

I'm looking into a twin T3/T04E setup. Might be this time next year or a little later, but I will have boost on the truck! Someway, somehow!
