I am a bit ignorant on turbos. Do you have to run both exhaust manifolds pipes to the turbo or just one?

Both because you would only have half the power from the hot exhaust...

unless you wanted to run each manifold to a seperate turbo, then icanfixall is correct.

do you have a kit already?
if not this is how most of them look (might help if you are doing own fab work)

there are other options, 7.3 6.9 etc.

HA! I have that image pulled up on my desktop now. The pipes from the manifolds look awful small.

From what people say you should try and get a Hypermax since they seem to support our old engines better than others...
I would get a Hypermax if I could do it again....

i have a banks, not a hypermax, it came with my truck which i paid 350 for.. so i figured beggers cant be choosers..haha. anyway. on my banks, it looks like each side has about a 2 inch pipe coming off each manifold going to a Y then up to the turbo, id say its maybe a 3 inch output on other end of the y, not sure have not measured my overall exhaust looks to be 3 inch, which imo isnt big enough, thats why i want to replace most of it with 4 inch then to a single stack (easier than running an entire exhaust) ive also considered redoing my turbo with one thats a little bigger and wastegated.. but i dunno..
hope it helps a little. if you want to know exact size of pipes ill try to check. and hypermax has what appears to be ALOT better support for the 6.9s

I have the hypermax and bought it used and have pieced it together. I tryed to fab the up pipes and let me tell you they did not work well at all. Had exhaust leaks that could not be sealed resulting in loss of turbo boost. I wish I would have bought the hypermax ones from the start, would have saved me a lot of agrivation.

My bad I keep forgeting that you already have pieces and parts. What are you lacking or are you just trying to figure out how this goes together?
