Default started my turbo setup---

finally got a chance to start my budget kit for my 98 camaro Z28 today. uses stock exhaust manifolds and keeps A/C and P/S. Later on this week hopefully ill be able to put pictures up of a tubular setup

took a lot of time to make sure everything fit well. just thought i'd post some pictures of the crossover pipes

Looks great. What are all of the specs on your car and the turbo setup?

I like the use of the 4 bolt flanges....always see em on atp's website, but never see anyone using em.

Ovalized pipe under the K would have been great. I run my 3 inch dp under the k and haven't smacked it yet but it is up there tight.

Nice work man, I did my first setup the same way.....worked great but you'll hate hearing those pipes getting bashed/scraped.

Looking good! Will it gravity drain or are you using a return scavenge pump?

Mine was stock height and right up on the kmember.



Same turbo too. Spool was great. I've gone to 6.0l manifolds and s400 this time around.

well since i fabbed it all up and installed myself i saved major coin.

including the car

EVERYTHING i've spend roughly 15K ( car was 9K)

this is including all my stupid lil accesories. lights. grills. clutch. fuel system, UMI k member, torque arm, LCA, panhard bar, LCA relocation, sway bars, mufflers etcc

downside is my pipes sit low and i scrape on the ground sometimes but im sure if i had a stiff suspension i'd be ok but i got some worn SLP bilsteins and springs in the car right now. hopefully in the future im going to relocate the altenator and get some more room and clearance up in there.

I used to have an oval 3.5" DP under my K-member and I smacked it every other time I got "spirited" on public roads. My car was lowered an inch or two.
