Default Turbo Manifold/Header Question/Help

If i wanted to do my own single turbo set-up on a C5-who/where can i get some cost effective forward facing headers?
I am interested in hearing all options.
Thanks-Dominic

you should probably search around a bit here and in the vette forum. A front mount in a C5 will be very TIGHT! Have you considered a rear mount set up? If you havent, look into it as there is a guy putting out WELL over 1k-hp with a rear mount, and runs single digits, (like DEEP 8's IIRC).

have a look on the corvette forum for a bit. there are serveral prven kits out now. is there any reason you want to stick with a single? i think the only location for a front mount is front and centre of the engine. not sure if you will have to shift the rad to.

thanks Chris.
