    :yeah::yeah:Okies i am going to be known as the budget king but as my twin tbs are being created i have also come across the fact that my stock headers are able to be spun upside down and face the opposite direction in finding this out i have thought about TURBO,i have not seen anyone in nz with a turbo holdy so ill be one of the first.
    My question is what turbo size should i go for and would any of the skyline turbo's work ie t28s, would i need to change the exhaust housing on them or will two be enuff to get the flow i need?

    99% of turbo kits that i've seen have been single turbo setups. you may be able to spin the cast manifolds around but i think your better of making custom manifolds. may cost more but better for making power in the long run.

    some of the guys who have experimented with turbos will be able to give you an idea of the appropriate turbo to use. also check that other commodore site a they have a lot of turbo threads there
