I have a friend that runs 15 psi on a stock block on his single set ups. One was a 60mm and the other was 70mm. He has done it several times, but always seems to crack his blocks after time. He is running 15 psi right now on a stock block in front of a viper spec T56 Foxbody.

Check out FivePointOhh's thread about his friends DIY turbo build and don't be afraid to ask questions.

I believe luckythirteen13 has a custom twin setup as well.

well thats the first ebay kit that ive seen that doesnt use 304 stainless so thats a plus. but the waste gates are external and i dont see anywhere on the manifolds to mount them. on top of that, there is no after turbo exhaust piping included so its all custom work on your part. it comes with 2 blow off valves but no where to mount them so thatll be custom as well. if you cant weld or bend pipes, that kit will end up costing you more then if you just went to b&g customs and bought a complete kit from them

They're probably SS Autochrome manifolds or something similar as well and if you've ever seen one of their turbo manifolds, you'd know that the only thing those hunks of junks are good for are door stops.
