yeah, but it's a slightly different combo ;)

Vecco sells headers for duals, not sure of anyone that sells just the headers for singles. Most of the guys i know that built their own used flipped shorties and built the collector and crossover but I hang with a low buck crowd.

By the way, That 50 trim is a great fit for 2.2-2.5 liter combos but would seem small for a 5.0 to me. I ASSume it's a T3 turbine?

yeah t3 .63 ar. it doesnt spool till 3300. i just wanna get 400-450 out of it. it put my neon to almost 400

so assuming i get a bigger turbo and i already have shorties, what kinda dent is a low budget set up gonna put in my wallet

There are cheap turbo headers on eBay. Most of those need gone over (reweld, add a few braces, flatten flanges)

Guys that use flipped shorties usually build a collector right on the end, but if it was me, I would pic up a set of cheapies and re-enforce them.

Back when the whole junkyard twin turbo thing started, the guys where all using .63/60 turbos off the thunderbird TC, XR4TI / etc. The problem is, those turbos are now getting much harder to find, and almost always need rebuilt now. I will dig up some more good links for you when I get some time. It was said it could be done for under $500.00 with flipped shorties, used turbos, and some luck ;)

Too keep you interested ;) This is to Mike Sitar's home page. Mike really was at the front of this whole JY Turbo thing but has evolved to bigger / better. If you have an interest, check out his twin supercharged thunderbird (also JY parts).

if i could do it for under a grand that would tickle me to death/ instead of spraying.
