The car in my sig is my only car atm. As you see it is lsx swapped and I planned on doing a single turbo front mount on it over the winter. I plan on using the car souly for the pure joy of having a 800whp car. I have already put a down deposit on a single turbo front manifold kit made for a fourth gen along with the turbo. I expected to have some fitment issues here and there with maybe too much or not enough piping which is fine. However, after doing a little research I realize that the truck manifolds alone have fitment issued in a third gen. The passenger side is said to barely rub the sub frame while the driver side hits the power steering box. Here is where the dilemma is...

I can either work out these issues by cutting the flanges off and rewelding them to fit somehow or just going with turbo headers which i was hoping I wouldn't have to do.

OR

Keep the third gen how it is for a while and buy a fourth gen 98-02 camaro or trans am and not having any fitment issues. But I really dread on having car payments ( I can afford it, I choose to not have them though).

This is where I'm stuck. Im not looking to hear I should of researched more I just want opinions on what I should do. Is it worth the trouble of messing with the kit in my third gen(which is what i want) or saving the headache and having the car done in a couple of weeks.

Is the problem just the manifold flanges hitting subframes and pump??

It seems to be it. On the passenger side you have to cut off and straighten then reweld the manifold together and on the driver side if needs to be almost straight. Then you get pleasure of cutting the crossover to fit. If you want, I can get some pictures to kinda show what I mean, not with the manifolds on but the shape and then the trouble spots

I've seen some cut the flanges off the manis and weld V-band flangrs on them. Who is making the kit for you??
