Turbo V8

[Bob Wooten]

that manifold is 1/2 of an old dual Accell TT setup. in a "normal" single
setup you are going to bring both sides to one common plenum (symmetrical or
not) & take it to the input of the turbine.  for all intents & purposes the
pressure w/in this system is going to be the same everywhere.  because this
manifold does not have a provision for the X-over from the other side it
will be a bit imbalanced.  I have heard of systems running like this (I
think that someone mentioned Saab), but I think that most will agree that
this is <Ideal.

there are Pro's & Con's to both a single & a TT.  I just finished Corky
Bells book & am going to start the other one that Bruce recommended.
Personally, I think that the TT is the way to go I think that it will
ultimately be simpler & more robust than a single, mostly cause of
expansions cross over pipes & heat loss, but you know what they say about
opinions & .................

The turbo is a restriction common to both banks.  Other then the pressure
lose from temp change, the pressure bank to bank is the same for all
pratical purposes.
One proper sized turbo is all you need, especially on a street V8

Worthless is it not?? Wouldnt one need TWO of these things?? Notice how he
says "great for a single turbo SB Chevy" since theres only ONE. Talk about
an
imbalance of backpressure!!
