Turbo diesel stuff - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

So I was searching for info on different turbo options for my turbo diesel project and stumbled on pictures of a 6.2 liter Detroit like the one I'm building, except this dude made a twin turbo set up. After seeing this, a single turbo just won't make me happy. I'm going to have to fabricate some exhaust headers, but this twin turbo thing WILL happen.

Do you know the turbo specs that he is using? Holset turbo's?

Good luck with the project!

I dont know. There wasn't one bit of information with the link I found other than the guy lives in the Netherlands. I'm still learning all of this turbo stuff being more of a classic carbed musclecar kind of guy. When I build the headers, I'll weld on T4 flanges and go from there. A Banks turbo kit for a stock Detroit application only runs about 7 psi mainly because of the 22:1 compression. I'm running 17:1 pistons like most modern diesels so I can run 15-20 psi without too much worry. I just need to figure what turbo(s) to run.
