On an inline 6, in a truck with plenty of room under the hood such as a 379 or a Mack Superliner, could you put a turbo on the front 3 cylinders and another on the back, and have both exhausts on opposite sides of the truck? Or would there be just not enough room under the hood?


Yes, and it has been done. I'm not sure about the exhaust on both sides of the truck but, I know guys have put two turbos on a truck.

Some race trucks will have a multi-turbo setup,with big chrome exhaust tips connected directly to each turbo or mabey even just the final two only.

There was a pulling rig outa Pa.a few years ago.It was a red ONE stack Mack cabinover with a dog house in the back and 6 turbos.He swpet the circuit.

Another disadvantage of duel exhaust is the extra weight.Also its twice the labor to remove and reinstall the system.

Dumptruck Shovelin' the coal
Yes that name does ring a bell.I remember seeing he made the cover pages,won the championship,ect

I saw it run a couple years or so in the buckeye.The competition was fierce.Really heavy-hitters,.From the keystone/Butler area.The dude with the K100's (He pulled them to fairgrounds in a brand new blue 369) was super cool when I spoke with him.

The one stack F-Model Mack,with a doghouse on the back,and maybe even Snoopey on top ran multi-turbo,and one guy run a HUGE (like aprox.19" impeller) single setup.Snoopey aso had the fithwheel on backwards which I though was a good saftey precaution.I saw one come loose one time,and there no deadmans cord on the Big-Rigs.

Possible he was running 4,and I have it mixed up with a dude from northen OH. who runs 6.I have a couple photos of.Its a red/black,with goldleaf R-Model. Twin stack Mack with a window in the back.

There's actually an article in Diesel Power mag about a guy with SIX turbos on a 903 cummins that he's producing estimates of up to 2000hp and "lifts the front wheels of his class 8 ride a foot off the ground on his way to 100 mph 1/4 mile passes"......I want to haul cows with it....They'd show up at the other end with crash helmets on and permanantly leaning forward with their tounges touching their butts.....Wait a minute,, already been there done that.

Good one muleskinner I would love to see a cow with a crash helmet. I always thought 2 stacks were so you would go def in both ears instead of just one.

AMEN Brother!

My 387 has 2 stacks and according to CAT and Peter it does help on the MPG something like 1/10 but I have nothing to base it on other than what was said. Either way my Peter looks like an O/O rig rather than a company truck.... and I love my leather interior
