turbo setup

I've been working with turbos for 5 months now i want to possile put one or two on but i'm have trouble thinking of where to place them, once i find a mounting place the tubing should be pretty easy. I was just wondering if anyone can show me pics of their setup.

it would help a little if we knew what engine you had and what year your car was

Here are a couple pics of my 2000 Twin Turbo V6. The Last picture was before it was done.

single turbo

with a single turbo @ 6PSI, your looking at a 60HP or so gain.. for that, you may just want to stick to N2O and FULL Bolt ons. spend the rest of that "4 grand" on a engine rebuild, internals, and what not. once thats done, you could either jump way up in the shot of N2O, or go turbo. with intenrals, these engines are good till about 750, or so i've read. but keep in mind, just doing bolt ons, drivetrain upgrades(clutch, gears) and a 100 shot of N2O you should have a 12 second car. if you already have a clutch and full exhaust, and intake, your looking at 300 or so for a axel, 300 or so for rear end gears, and prolly 600 for a 100 shot. maybe even a CAM? but make sure your engine can handle it with high miles.

another choice is to buy a swan racing stroker kit. you'd prolly get to around 2560-275HP, and 300-320 TQ from that. i'd personally love to see this, have never seen anyone do it.

I wish it was that easy. Mine is built pretty heavy, and running a 125 shot and im only running a 12.8
