Default Straightline Performance Prototype C5/C6 Twin Turbo Kit

We're just sharing some pictures of our prototype C5/C6 twin turbo mid-mount turbo manifolds designed and built in house by Turbo Joe. Joe had dreamed up this configuration years ago and finally put his welder to the metal earlier this month and came up with these beauties. His intention was to improve upon all the previous mid-mount turbo kits that have been released in the past by paying particular attention to the waste gate placement. They are constructed from 304 series schedule 10 tubing and feature Precision Turbo 62mm turbos.

Feel free to contact us for any questions. Call us at (815) 485-7741, or email: sales@1320hp.com.

Will you be offering a complete "kit" or just these pieces?

What price point are you aiming for with the complete kit? Those look sexy!

very nice setup and intelligent use of available space

welds are super nice, and the manifolds reflect a lot of thought

good luck with finalizing, I love the wastegate setup and that looks like boost control will be rock solid!!

Thanks for posting.

What is the largest turbocharger assembly that will fit with these manifolds?

Which compressor covers will fit?

What is the A/R on the v-band exhaust housing?

Very nice. I would be interested if you're able to fit at least a E or bigger compressor cover. Looking at the pictures it looks like a B cover .

Thanks everyone! They are precision 62/66 CEA with the B cover. The exhaust inlet is a V-band and with that option they only sell it with a .82AR. After we finalize this setup we are going to experiment with other cover options and possibly the T4 flange. This is just our first stage of building and if we can come up with others options that fit in the tight space we will give it a shot! Once we have them on the car I will post up some more pics for everyone! Thanks again for the feedback

Looking good. V-band inlet would be nice. Does anyone make a v band housing that has an A/R larger than 0.82?
I agree, would like to see this be able to fit precision 6766s with an e-cover and still maintain wastegate control with a free flowing 3" exhaust system.

For Precision:
B - 2.8" Inlet, 2.0" discharge
E - 3.0" Inlet, 2.0" discharge

That's all I have found, what about the size of the actual housing? Any different? If not why not just use the e cover
