I'm having another era of insanity.

I have my 3.8 that I built years ago.
Studded, decked, cammed, ported, MLS converted. NA lower intake was found and ported, and I needed to fabricate an upper.

This was done to get it ready for a GT35X turbo. Then it got shelved.

I've changed directions.

I want twins. But a hybrid, pusher style parallel system I've had in my head. The exhausts will stay separated, but the compressors will compound. And I want them sitting on top of the supercharged intake.
I don't want reasons why it's not ideal.

I need someone to tell me why it won't work.
Cause otherwise I'm gonna spend resources trying to do this.
 
If I'm picturing this correct, you're thinking diesel style above/between the heads? No front mount air-to-air intercooler?

I'm trying to think if there is any way to do this without boiling the fuel in the rails

Turbos will be raised a bit, not flush to the intake. Heat shields on both the turbine housings and covering the rails.

And there would still be an FMIC.
