things coming together

hey y'all. The car gods have smiled upon me. :D
A short while back at the shop i work at I scored a T-3 off an 86 svo for free! Then my buddy put a 5" exhaust on his 02 diesel F-350
and gave me the 3" exhaust that came off.Not a bolt on but i can make it work. Well last week the guy I got my turbo coupe from comes knocking at my door and says he cleaned out his garage and thinks I might want this. A complete IHI w/plumbing and everything that you would need to install. So now I have 2 complete IHI setups! Can anyone say twin turbo 88 5.0?

Need to clarify. The 3" ex is for the turbo coupe. Need tu upgrade fuel pump and get afpr before putting on the T-3 and ex. But I figure the turbo and ex should be worth at least 70 hp. What do you think ? 2 IHIs on a 5.0 sound feasible? What I'm thinking of doing is get the cheap $99 summit long tube headers and mount the turbos under the car.I want to see how low buck I can do this. With the facilities I have access to and the fact I have $0 in turbos I'm thinking I could do this for less than$500.

yea wayy back there, i wouldn't do that unless you realize your gonna have to run tube from the motor to the turbo and from the turbo to the motor. Not sure theres gonna be enough room, plus the super long oil lines. Be a pain and alot of money in tubing!

not really 2x3 box sub connectors that are also inlet pipes(to t/b). cheap summit long tube headers.2.5" exhaust pipe is cheap. electric oil and water pumps. 3/8" tubing is cheap(for oil and water lines). I have thought this out somewhat.I started a thread in engine tech check it out and ideas and opinions please
