Needed: Twin-Turbo V8 pics..............PLEASE!!!

[Sidewinder-03]

Does anyone know where i can find pictures of some twin turbo V8s(preferably some close ups, but any will do). I am working on a wickid' custom '96 Firebird with a 'Vette LT-1 engine and I want to add Twin T's to it and I can't figure out how to set it up. Sould I build a massive intercooler or sould I have twin intercoolers? Space under the hood is no prob. as I have grafted the scoop from the Revell F'bird to the stock '96 hood. Sorry, no pics. yet but maybe soon.

The turbos should be on each manifold and you could do either 1 or 2 intercoolers.

For my supintegra which has a TT V6 I used 1 FMIC.

I made a y pipe connecting the 2 turbos and placed it on one side of the intercooler.

The intake I made it go to the other side.

Do you have pics?

Should I put the intercooler in front of the radiator or below it, angled to pull the air from under the nose?

Now that's the stuff I'm looking for. That is almost the same idea i have but I'm going to be useing a dual cold air intake and a single intercooler.

Does the exhaust have to be that large coming out of the turbo?

Any ideas on how to replicate the heat shielding on the exhaust headers or do I need them?

Anyone have any more pictures?

Sorry for all the ?'s but this is my first time scratchbuilding a turbo setup?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a pic of a TT L98 from a Callaway corvette here:

It has twin IC's on top of the engine though, but the good news is that there is a kit of that car with the engine/plumbing.

[Sidewinder-03]

Really??!! What kit is it?

Thanks for the pictures you all, they are some great help. I'll try to get some pics of my progress up as soon as I can, but it may take awhile(I have no digicam).

Calloway corvette speedster. From the early '90's. Molded in (bletch) bright green.

I'm sure there are some on ebay right now probably.

Always been into them...but the kids don't give me much time to work on them...so...I've just been building my collection for the past year so I will have lots of projects when I get to work on one.
