Do you have the hood clearence to do this?
i dont think i have the hood clearance, but if that was the only thing stopping me id put a cowl hood on it.

the only thing i worry about, is the firewall comes out towards the front of the truck further the higher up it goes. i guess i could cut some of it, but i dont know how id get from the back of the main charger to the bottom charger without hitting the cowl.

i would love to run twins if possible but i dont know if i could do that

edit:

does the primary charger or top charger come off the exhaust manifold? and which one does the downpipe come off of.
sorry for all the questions im just learnin about twins

Exhaust flows through the llitle turbo and out the turbine to the bigger turbo. so your down pipe will come from your big turbo in the twin setup.

the compressed air travels from the big turbo through the little turbo to the engine

the exhaust is right, the charged air is back wards, the large turbo draws in the air and forces it through the little one and into the ic
