Not asking...telling.
Dual Borg-Warner K03 Turbos from the 3.5 Ecoboost on the F150's. The F150's are running 365HP @ 12PSI, I intend to dial that back a quite a bit since I'll be using a stock LS 3.0 engine (as well as lacking the direct injection & Cam phasing). Really looking for that quick-spool, low-end grunt that a small TT setup would provide.
Currently in the planning phase, I was really hoping to use the stock 3.5 manifolds (with adapters) from the F150, since they are already set up for RWD and a really nice tight little package. But it's just tooooooo tight in the LS engine bay. There is enough room, however, to install the turbos in the space where the Catalysts are currently, this would require a return pump for the turbo oil drain - but otherwise would be pretty easy.
Pics of F150 LH Manifold & Turbo. Note that the turbo has an integrated Blow off valve and waste gate - nice!
