Yeah thats the way its done, weld both manifolds into a single pipe to go into the exhaust side and one huge dump pipe going out

In concord ive lived all over, on barrier rd close to mount pleasant, in lock mill off of church street, i lived behind the grave yard off of church street, 7th street and south blvd in charlotte, lol

Thanks for the replies everyone. Firstly, I'm planning on making a collecting pipe after the manifolds (Y-Pipe) to run a SINGLE turbo. I've considered flipping the manifolds and that might be tight for space so I think stuffing the turbo back underneath the car is a better idea. The only thing that needs to be running up front will be the intercooler and intake piping.

Any chance someone knows of a good model turbo that is going to spool up quickly and make 8 pounds through the 2000 - 5500 RPM range? I'm looking at Holset, Garrett, and Turbonetics Turbos but any make will do. I can't make up my mind whether to go with a little guy that will spool up with little lag or a big one that will be spooling almost constantly with some lag.
