If you could find two of the turbo manifolds you might save a lot of work on that plumbing.

Though this isn't going to help firechicken with his setup I thought this info might be helpful to other people starting their own twin turbo project. I've got 2 passenger side Turbo 301 exhaust manifolds I'm planning on running for my twin turbo setup. On my '79 TA it looks like it clears the steering shaft. The only things these manifolds need to put on a 325-455 is to have the center exhaust bolt hold plugged/welded and to weld a cap over the bottom exhaust outlet.

One thing to look out for is that 95% of these turbo 301 exhaust manifolds are cracked. If you know a good welder that can weld cast iron then it isn't a problem.

I realize that these manifolds won't flow the same as a nice custom header but I'm just trying to keep it stupid simple. I can always just turn up the boost.
