Help with compound setup
I'll try again on here. I'm thinking of running my stock he 341 over an ht60 for a cheap compound setup. I can fab all my piping myself and it won't cost to awful much. I need input from someone who's been around twin setups. What do I do about the oil for the ht60? Run a T in my existing line or new pump source? Can I use my stock manifold turned upside down? If possible wouldn't that keep cylinders 5 and 6 cooler anyways since they aren't cooled as well as the first 4 anyways? I'm only looking to make around 45psi I just want to bring down egt's mostly and can't afford a big single turbo and don't want the lag.
I have EFI on my stock 6spd and the turbo is like a black hole now. Some guys on EFI are pulling stock 570hp 40psi with the 325hp HO CTD 6spd G56 on dynos on youtube. I would say do that first then look into emailing someone on here like Luke with Diesel Dawg Performance and get some prices on the add a turbo kit. Everthing I've seen is done compound for EGT's and the fact that its one of the quickest spooling turbos is your bang for the buck. There will always be someone to say different this is just the route I will be going here soon from the research I've done and owners I've spoken with.

And this is a budget build, I still want a decent turbo but I do my own tubing and do everything I can at my own shop. I was just looking for good setups and opinions on what would actually be best to run with the stock turbo. I just knew the hx60 was popular and it would work.
