Can you make a video of a shed skid? i like shed skids, and so do the boys

I've made my own twin turbo kit to suit my cobra, with the turbos in the guards like that too (though flat). To do it I had to use very low profile air filters (hks mushroom filters) with one turbo slightly higher then the guard vent and the other quite low, due to brake booster and mc. i used the same turbos in the genTT kit. Their small exhaust housings REALLY helped make room.

I've got turbo heat bags / beanies over the exhaust housings, earls fireproof sleeve over the brake lines and thick shielding around mc and booster. All exhaust and inlet is wrapped. Oil is scavenged too.
Its tight, and hot, but persistence made it happen

Did you research any other twin kits before deciding on the turbos? genTT kits use visually smaller turbos and make the numbers with very low boost.
there's a set of install instructions on the net and that covers most relevant issues you could face.

also there is a company that has made vertically laid turbos possible, i think it's called aerocharger turbo systems.

I hope it becomes possible. Because they're a rare breed twin turbo cobras

Why dont you supercharge it instead..... lot less heat... no room issues....Yella Terra kit looks good

Just had a quick search through aerocharger's website to see what makes it possible, and found this quote

'A further advantage of this self-contained lubrication system is the fact that the turbo is no longer reliant upon being lubricated by the engine itself. There are no high pressure or lines or seals to fail and reduced oil leakage into the engine for low particulate emissions. This also allows for more mounting options to be available for the turbo including both horizontal and vertical installations'

So turbocharging couldn't be made simpler, no oil or water lines turbotimers or complex boost controlling methods. All self contained, and they have kits to suit america's G8 pontiac...

Any news on a shed skid yet?
Thumbs up for trying in the last video
