Turbonetics suggested one big, trash can lid-sized turbo rather than two small turbos....along with their intercooler which was the size of a small dog house. They're the gurus, so we got what they recommended.

After many brainstorming sessions it appeared it would all work....large amounts of steel and aluminum tubing were graciously donated by sponsors....several mockups ensued, alot of time was spent on this thing, and our resident fabricating genius went after it hard.

Some of the inspiration for the layout was, oddly enough, from a 2002-2005 5.7 Dodge Ram truck. They use a small offset AC condensor......we thought, shrink the radiator down, move it to the side like the Ram AC condenser, and mount the turbo up front. It's a drag car, it doesn't need a huge radiator anyway (hopefully).
