Hello,

I'm in the process of upgrading my turbo's. I sold the old twin kit that I had an am getting 2 new chargers to replace them. I have been kind of pondering over the idea of mounting them side by side, for something different and I think it'd make it a little easier to change housing and check the turbo's periodically. I'm looking for some opinions if any of you have done this on how they worked setup like that and also some pictures would be great, as far as how you's decided to run your piping. Or any other help you's may have I'm all ears,Thanks.
 
Im guessing you mene a parallel set. You would think of it like this, what would spool really well on 3cly and 180cui. The chargers would be very small as would the turbine housings.

I think he wants a compound kit with the primary where the airbox and battery is (side by side) instead of an over/under.

you are correct sir, the same compound setup as most all twin kits are just changing the position of the primary. I know it's been done several times, just looking for suggestions from those who have already been dwon this road, thanks.
 
Make a heavy duty braket for the primary and V Band the interstage piping.
 
BigBadDodge had a setup on his old truck like you are wanting. The top charger was still in the stock location and the secondary turbo wasup front right behind the headlight, although he was also running a hood stack for this setup, so routing a down pipe back under the cab may be alittle tricky.

x2 on the hood stack...

i was thinking about this today and i came to the conclusion it would get a hood stack should i ever mount the primary there

there is a good picture of this on compD, let me see if i can find it
 
Big Bad Dodge #1. This is the only one I found on his site. He did have some of the entire setup but I can't find them. Just scroll down and you will find it.

I was kind of leaning more like something like that coonsmile, turning the secondary around, and putting an elbow out of the exhaust straight into the primary, that may my hotpipe would ne nice and short, I just need to see exactly how I want to pipe the rest of it, thanks for the thoughts. Going to be an s465 on top, if that helps any of you's with suggestions.
 
ok I went and looked at bigbad dodges site, i like the looks of his, I just want to keep the primary a little further back so I can slip some sort of filter on it when street driving it occasionally and pull the filter for racing. Looks like my biggest issue wil just be fishing the downpipe out?
 
Will you be keeping your A/C? That makes fitting the downpipe much easier if you can remove the accumulator(?), think thats what it is? What is the primary going to be?

yes, I will be keeping ac for now. Chris (signature600) has some chargers he is checking into for me for a primary. The one is a garret around an 85mm compresser.

the more I look at these, the more I like that setup, and I think with a set of electric fans like I'm planning anyway, I should be able to slip, a short 6" filter on for when I'm street driving, that setup was on a commonrail, 12 valve will have a little more room than that isn't there?

That's a slick setup. And losses are basically non-existent like that. Although gating around the second stage might get tight. Better make sure you leave a provision in the elbow between turbine housings for a gate to re-enter from the manifold pre second stage if you go that route.
 
This might give you an idea.

this is true, for right now, I've talked to chris a little about these and he's thinking the exhaust sides are big enough I might get by without a gate, just have to run a drive presure guage on it to see, but farthur down the road I'll probably need to gate them, so I'll make shure to leave a little room, thanks!
