Those are interesting!  They kind of make one wonder if it will be possible to tell the differences in boost reaction that may occur between the two sides, as the longer one may create a much different quantity of exhaust gas velocity to the turbo than the other (maybe a bit of lag, but only by contrast).  Square is cool, though!

I considered it, but not enough to care.  smiley.  we will find out though!

Looks like this hood is going to get a turbo bump.

The manifolds, and turbos are in.  The cold side is done (just need to final weld it.) Oil feed, and drain are in, and water hoses are connected.  Next I will run my wiring harness, and install the ecu.  Hoping to start the car this wweek

I will be running a hood, but it will be put it on absolutely last.  It's so nice to work on without the hood, I'm in no hurry to put it back.  I have a hood I plan to put on that I can chop up, and put some sweet ass turbo bumps on.

Good to see another enthusiast in the suburbs!  Trying to take advantage of the good weather while I can.

I know this is a very old thread, but just wanted to say thanks for documenting everything so well. As a person who wants an LS type motor in his Volvo 960 it is helpful to see the process.
