dont bash me my mind just wonders.
I can get 2 turbos and an intercooler for about 800. I was told that I would have to get custom headers to run the turbos but could I possably use block hugger headers and some of that flexable exaust pipe to to run the exhaust to the turbos? or is it just plane dumb?

You'll need 304 stainless steel more than likely for your custom headers. Heat is a major issue with turbos.
Whether or not the $800 deal is good or not depends a lot on your combo. Have you ever looked at a compressor map? What type of turbos are these? Does this include wastegates? A lot more info is needed before I would even think about that kind of deal.
Do your homework before you fork over the $$$ on turbo design and theory. There are a couple of members here that are running them. Do a search and you'll have some material to read.
Good luck,
Joe
**Edit** One more thing. Pick up the newest Chevy High Performance. It has a '69 Camaro with a 355 and some T-03 turbos on it. The owners name is Jimmy Spears and he posts over at www.pro-touring.com. (http://www.pro-touring.com.) He grew up in my hometown and I've seen the car in person. Its pretty dang cool car.
