Default twin turbo question

hey everyone. i got my 93 cummins engine in my 95 chevy.

i would love to have twins on my truck. but i already can BARELY clear my DP already, and its already been pressed in on one side just to fit now.

is there a way i could run twin turbos without having to move my downpipe position?

if i had to move my downpipe anywhere else it wouldnt work, but could i position another charger to utilize the stock dp location?

i couldnt even do that. the chevy firewall looks kinda like this:
........______
____/./......\.\_____
........l........l
........l........l

thats about how close my engine is to the firewall. if i ran a stack straight up, it would almost like hit the windshield after coming through the cowl

(dont mind the periods i had to do that so it wouldt mess up when i posted it)

I don't see why you couldent filp your exhaust manifold upsidedown. That would move your top charger up allowing you to mount the primary charger wherever you want below it.

Do you have the hood clearence to do this?
