Building a TT setup with stock manifolds i bet its been asked before but i did some searching and even went back several pages but found nothing. can you run stock fbody manifolds in their stock location with a pair of small turbos mounted Incon style? maybe do a little clearencing on the body and run a small starter like Speed INC is on their new tt setup they are building? i dont see why something like this wouldnt work unless maybe the manifold is too long and pushes the turbo down to far? but thats all i can think of..ideas?

Try it and let us know how it works out. A ton of the Turbo set ups in here were done by trial and error.
The 408 front mount set up I an doing is just going to be a copy of a few poeples I have seen in here.

I asked Jim the same question after looking at his new TT Setup. Seems there would be room, if not the F Body Mani's then maybe some other kind, but just looks like something would fit in there.

Just read Jim's reply in his TT setup thread. There is a drainback issue with trying to use Stock Manifolds, which explains why dozens before havent gone that route.

theres the idea of building a PTK style kit using a truck manifold and an fbody manifold, but i was reading that PTK kits have a problem with ground clearence. is there anything thats been done about that?
