Twin Turbo C5Z
My build in pics
This is a stock LS6 build so low boost. I'm running 8lbs from two 50 trims. Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics. The car is already up and running and I'm currently street tuning it. Still working out a ton of small issues of course. BIG thanks to JDS99 for allowing me to pick his brain and bounce my ideas off of him.

Looks great. Did you use sch 40 steel weld els and pipe for the manifold? Looks like it. Just curious to what you can grow into. What compressor cover is that? I bet the spool is really good.

Both, hard to explain, but I cut my factory shroud and run the air damn up to the IC and then from the radiator it runs to bumper cover. I still need to seal the sides a bit better. Pics probably tomorrow or the next day once I finish that piece.
I have flex hoses for now. Wednesday I should have a new order of piping come in and my Argon bottle refilled. Most likely it will be very similar or exactly like your drivers side pipe.

Congrats Jim!
Work through the little issues, and enjoy it!!
I think you should share a timeline of your build. No doubt, has got to be the fastest C5 twin turbo build on record

Will do.
CX racing I believe.
other than the manifolds one 4 day weekend and 3 5 hour days after that. Manifolds were actually the most satisfying part, only a day spent on each.
I was out tuning tonight and in CL I can't get the NB O2's to oscillate under idle and no load conditions. I'm thinking the Turbos are actually restricting the exhaust flow. Haven't decided If i'm going to play with the proportional gain table or just cut out the cats to free things up a bit. BTW haven't gone over 80%TPS for longer than 2 seconds and she's already logged over 48lbs min of airflow. I'm thinking I'll hit 600whp at 8psi no problem.

Thanks Mike!
For those asking about my IC and radiator shrouding, here's some pics.
As you can see I cut up the stock shroud, ran it up to my IC from the bottom. And ran it from the radiator to the top of the Ic. I still need to put in more plastic on the sides to fully seal it.
