An old motorhome. :-) Can't wait to see the look on the face of some poor
jerk who has just spent $400K on a big pusher with a Cummins 555HP 855 in
it after he gets thoroughly dusted on a good grade!! :-)

Dunno--I think I saw mention of someone having done it, tho.

Too small.

heard of one with a single. Torque & power were reputed to be
"ADEQUATE!"This statement was from a more is always better sort of a guy.

Once sized up duals fro exactly this--think it was Garrett TO-4's with V-1
trim and a .7 AR turbine housing, but not sure. This was for about 17 lbs
boost. Don't remember if for IC or not!

If you can find two exhaust manifolds for a Joy 125 QP trailer mounted air
compressor--they used a 196 with the exhaust pointed straight up. Cannot
imagine a much easier way to mount two turbos than sitting right on top of
the exhaust manifold outlets, maybe on a real short pipe.

Or a Scout if done this way.

Injection is WAY better than a carb for a turbo, especially if you are
gonna intercool it.



Another thing you could look for, if doing a carb and no IC, is a pair of
the export only low compression heads, and a set of matching pistons. (You
gotta have both the pistons and the heads to make it fit and work right!!!
BEWARE!!)
