Ive been dreaming of twin turbos lately and have been wondering about a 496 tt how much power could one make out of this. Could the block even handle this or would an aftermarket block be necesarry. Anyone have any twin turbo builds they would like to share or pic by pic builds because they are always interesting to look at.

Do a search on twin turbo's. Theres been a lot of talk about this and at least one person on here that has a TT BB.

i have done searches i just want people to show their builds and hopefully pics

A guy named Scotty here has done a twin turbo, maybe he'll chime in.

Sounds like you might be on a budget.

Look at the turbo setup this way... Build a high quality turbo setup that will last, skimp on the motor so to speak.

The turbos will be there forever no matter what happens to the engine, Throw a rod, change the shortblock, turbo setup is still there. Catch my drift?

From what I have seen a turbo motor itself can handle about 30% more power reliably then an N/A or nitrous engine. Reason is the motor spends less time under the increased full time power of a balls to the wall NA motor, and less time under violent, hot, and instant power of nitrous.

You could take a bone stock 454 with rectangle ports and a stock hydraulic flat tappet cam, put a set of 60-1 turbos on it and make an easy 700 hp fairly easy. If you run it for a year and blow it up, so what, just drop in another stock motor.

Obviosly if you want a bulletproof, motor and are happy with under 900 hp, I would take a stock big block and change valves, springs, rods, pistns, and put it back together. That should last you forever.

not to hijack the thread & I'm not a turbo type guy but very interesting view given by Scotty.

I think Scotty really nails it. There is a guy on the turbo forums that took a junk yard 350 and threw it in his car. He already had a nice turbo setup, but replaced a motor he just lost. He didn't expect the motor to last very long at all, but it's been a year now and the motor just won't die. So far it has made 703 rwhp and 723ftlbs of tourqe.

The key to making a stock motor live is in the tune. You miss the tune, you get a pile of parts.

Here is a link to my build, very budget. I know it's just a SB, but something to look at.

I forgot to mention, that junk yard motor had 100,000 miles on it when he put it in the car :D
