Im looking to buy a gen5 ss camaro and wondering if truck manifolds can be used flipped for a diy turbo setup? Id consider doing twins if I can do it myself with truck or stock manifolds.

Opinions, ideas, pics or suggestions? ?? Will run holley intake e85 flexfuel, custom turbo cam and a manual trans.

There are at least 3 kits that run low mounted turbos retaining the factory exhaust manifolds

No need for truck manifolds or flipping anything. The wheel in this instance has been invented and works well

I want low mounted turbos like i want prison sex....not a ******* chance. I want my turbo up top to be seen. I also want a single not twins.

Trick is building a new kit for the Camaro's . I have began a new thread and will continue to post photos of the build. Should be a nice clean setup!

Yes, in exactly the same way AGP, IPS, Hellion and DKT have already been doing for a few years.

I built one years ago.....and ironically have the car now for a fuel system. I did a high mounted 76, cause i dont like oil pumps either if you can avoid them. I used one stock manifold on the passenger side to a (flipped manifold from another vehicle) and did a crossover underneath......just like a grand national but the turbo is on the driverside.

I never persured building more after I did the jig though cause everyone was too afraid with their waranttees.....so I ve been thinking about setting up the jig since many are coming out of warrantee now.

The car was a stock l99 , stock convertor and was fabulous...now its on steroids....but still stock convertor, ls9 cam and drives like stock with double the power. Makes mid 600's and could use a bigger turbo.

I was cleaning up the shop and ran across some pieces....I ran a cross over off the pass side and back up under this manifold. It keeps the cost down and makes good power...and a pretty good way to go, if your not into spending, just as much on the trans too

We are currently working on one now using a single turbonetics 78/75 and both stock manifolds. Keeps everything in place too.
