I'm thinking about doing a twin turbo set up on my 7.3 idi. As of now I have true duals that run to the back of the cab and go up though the flatbed. They are attached to the headache rack and are capped with a rain cap. I have this old rusted out toolbox right next to were the two pipes turn up. And I figured I could fit two smaller turbos in the toolbox, turn it into a turbo box. No one could see what's going on unless they were to open the box. I'd have 2 exhaust pipes going in, 2 going out to re-connect to the headache rack. For the turbo outlets i'd have a Y pipe to merge the two into one pipe that would go all the way back into the intake. I'd also have to run a oil line, EGT and boost gauge could be under the hood.
The advantage of all this is the easy plumbing, keeping the whole system out of the engine bay will avoid cluter and not have pipes running all over the place. Also the long intake tube running from the box to the intake would be right by the frame, meaning it would cool the air down some.
Only modification in the engine bay would be a turbo intake, and some sensors.
Does anyone know where i could pick up some inexpensive turbos? I'd like to get them off a production vehicle and not ebay because of the quality. I'm shooting for 15-20 psi combined. I was looking at 7.3 powestroke turbos but they have a flap in the exhaust side that I can't imagine being good for flow.
I need two inexpensive, mass produced, turbos without a butterfly valve in the exhaust. Any ideas?
