A pair of Garrett 57s on a 2v mustang made 950 corrected rwhp here in albuquerque.
turbo kits|chassis|accessories - Turbo Horsepower
Turbo horsepower is here is albuquerque.

Here are some links to a couple good places to get that turbo, that way you don't have to deal with ebay. I tossed around going with a pair of 57s for the longest time. I ended up going with a set of pt61s with t3s. I like the 61s because you can get an S compressor cover where you cannot with the 57s. The 61s will support 600+ a piece too!

Garrett T3/TO4E 57 trim w/ .63 a/r

Turbochargers

I think they would work fine!

Well the plan is to copy the hellraiser kit for the cobra! I am not looking to make to much power more of having a twin turbo supercharged lightning since no one else has done it yet. So I guess cause I am going to try keeping the S/C I dont need a real fast spool up because of the S/C will be all the low end i need.

So I guess what I am asking is what size would best suite me. The hellraiser kit I think has like a 57mm or 63mm for the 4.6/ 4 valve. I have no real knowledge of turbos and compressor maps, what all the numbers on the turbo mean. If anyone can help me out I have been doing all kinds of searching and reading.

So what is the t3 t4 housing and s trim oiN8io is talking about in the preious post?

I'm not trying to be rude at all so don't take it that way but if you are planning on building a twin turbo and supercharged setup for your L I think you should read up a little more to know what the difference between a T3 and T4. As well as what the difference between an S and E compressor housing is too. Hellion is also in albuquerque so I have seen the first hellraiser kit and to my knowledge they are using twin 67s because the SC helps with spool. Twin 67s will make 1200 on a 4v without the SC's help so honestly I think the SC is mainly there to help with the spool and enable you to use a larger turbo without losing the "fun" of it on the street.

I have been trying to search, but I apparently just don't type in the right thing .I cant ever find what I am looking for.The search on these boards and all others is the same way.So what do I need to look for or where is a good place to start reading up on this. I have been going through a lot of turbo forums lately to try and learn more, but all I see the build up no one talks of what turbo and why.

Definitly get on The Turbo Forums.com and read the newbe facts. There is tons of good info there. Second go the the bookstore and buy Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. By far the best turbo book ever! to me some of the best streetable twinturbo cars are running T3/T4 hybrid turbos.. Exactly what most of those turbos were in the links I posted, as well as what I'm going with. Aslo ask ALL the questions that you can!

Who said anything about running twin T6 turbos? There is no true street car that could do that and maintain any kind of throttle response.
