Think these twins will work?

I'm thinking of going the twins route and came across these, think they will work (ignore the smaller one in the middle, just using the out side ones in the pic)? I think this will be the all end to the twins verses single debate, I'll just run a .67 A/R T3 turbine so it'll spool up mega fast and have these 6 foot compressor inducers carry the top end.

Mind you..... I'll be cleaning these up and having them chromed, so that'll account for a few extra ponies also.

So one on top of the hood and one strapped to the top of the hatch. How are you going to see? I'm assuming your going to run an open exhaust, I'd be worried about whoever is beside you when you open it up.

Seeing is over rated, we real racers don't need to see, we feel the road with our de-powered steering racks!

I don't really know if I should close this thread or not, it's certainly more applicable than some of the clusterf*cks I've seen lately

I think some of the supra guys bolt on big turbos just to "see if they can." I'm almost surprised that no one here does.

turbine: Motors that operates from the spinning action created by a turning fan or a vaned wheel that is set in motion by water, wind or other source of energy.
The turbines in the picture do not operate like a turbocharger. they are for creating electricity not air pressure. they work more like a hot side connected to electrical components and not a compressor wheel.
