Hi S,
This one is on a 63 but something similar for your car should give you board.

That has to be the set up on Rob's car!
That one is definitely not for the faint of heart or pocket book. Mike Moran does some wicked stuff! The Big Stuff 3 system, Moran engine, Precision Turbos, etc when done and set up by Mike are guaranteed to get the job done.
I've seen several C3's with twins set up on them with both blow through and EFI setups and there is plenty of room to mount the turbos forward facing.
If you are looking for a kit for yor application Banks would be the way to go.

If you are bored, make your own system from scratch like I did. That will keep you busy.
