Do you not have another turbo for a balanced approach?

Yep - have loads of Turbo's but this one would be good for about 800 bhp and well matched.

This one is a GReedy T78 29D

After tigging up those manifolds nicely are you really gonna butcher them to get the exhaust flowing back to the front?

With a V8, don't you need one turbo for each bank?. I would of thought a supercharger would be the better option.

It's not that it really needs more power. Just had a nice turbo kicking around and wondered what it would look like.

Must be mental enough without it!
Perhaps have it just as an ornament to impress not so knowledgable people... paperbag

Think you need a smaller one or a compressor to feed it, to not have endless turbolag from it.
Conclusion: you don't need any of that, it will be good, fast, powerful enough imho

No nothing yet. Still making the new loom to fix the poor and sometimes inconsistent running problems.
