Twin turbo/centrifugal questions.

Okay, so let's say I was planning on building a twin turbo motor, running each turbo unit off of it's own exhuast header, pretty much the obvious idea, right?

Now, if I didn't run an intercooler, where would I have the two compreesed air tubes meet ? And how?

~Along with that idea, if I ran a dual centrifugal motor (stupid idea I know), same questions apply. They're pretty much the same after compression as far as I know, so would there be a difference in manner of combining the two compressed air lines?

On a side note, where would the air sensing equipment for say, an LS1, be in this setup, it probably shouldn't be too close to the throttle body, so if I had a short piping route, would it be best to split it halfway the distance from the throttle and where the pipes meet?(as in question above)

Where would the cold side piping merge? Kind of depends on where the turbo/superchargers are, what car we're talking about, what accessories you still have, radiator/cooling fan location, the level of efficiency you're looking for, etc.

But in general, you just merge the two pipes however and wherever you can, it's certainly not the hardest part of building a twin turbo setup.

yea, merge the pipes anywhere between the 2 and the TB.
