i dont know why people think that they have to spend that much on turbo exhaust headers, when you can have your local muffler shop make the same thin for half the price, or you could even make it yourself for alot less.

If you really need twin turbos for your HP levels in an L-series then you're going to have all new internals as well. Put all that money on an RB26DETT.

...and they are ugly!

Ugly, but still a cool idea, twin turbo'd L 28, sounds cool. And for a show car would probably get points. Also the idea of smaller turbo's feeding an engine, would get rid of all lag, and still be able to hold boost from like 1500 all the way to redline. And that should be every turbo owner's dream, Making use of the whole power band, without choking off at higher rpm's, and a more effecient turbo setup would probably run alot cooler, because as you know, high egt's melt things, and detonation breaks things
