turbo 385....
It can be done, but not easily. Probably the biggest challenge in such an
installation will be the intercooler setup. It has to go in front of the radiator
and there isn't much room there. Since you want twin turbos, the intercooler
will have to be a two-section unit with separate intake/discharge connections.
The intercooler will probably have to be custom built for your application,
a number of shops can do this, but it will be pretty expensive. A larger water
radiator will probably be necessary as well as it is going to be deprived some
cold air flow going into with intercooler sitting in front of it and fitting a larger
radiator will be challenging as well with the air plumbing go to and from the
intercooler taking up space where the radiator resides. Custom headers will
be needed to route the exhaust gases into the turbos as well as some custom
plumbing to route the turbo discharge to the sidepipes. Assuming you will be
using EFI, you will need to make sure whatever ECU you decide on supports
a twin turbo installation with electronic wastegate control on each side.
I believe the Electromotive TEC3r can do this but there are probably others
that can as well.
