Reverse flow heads, two small turbos right on top. There's barely room for the exhaust piping the way it sits, you're not fitting twin turbos down there.
Putting the turbos in the V is not something new. You route the exhaust the same way the intake used to go, but then wrap it underneath the car and wherever you wish. But I was suggesting it sarcastically anyways.
I was wondering if there were a teensie bit of sarcasm involved... consider use of the <sarcasm></sarcasm> tags.
Lots of other apps put the turbos in the V... Duramax and Powerstroke diesel V8's, for example, but they still have the conventional port layouts with the intakes in the V. For production cars, putting the exhaust in the V is fairly new. (Yes, I know it's been done in racing).

I think his point was that there is far less room for that setup, then there is for a traditional setup.

Where do you think the exhaust goes for turbos in the V? Straight out the hood?

With the single turbo I'm worried that it has to be big... To run both banks. And I still don't know how a single turbo v8 is. As far as when. Boost hits, how long it stays, and the main thing is not having the turbo cut out.
I noticed a eaton m112 supercharger kit from a jag.. Online. And supposedly it's a bolt on, since it sits in the intake manifold. Any reports on that?
