Well guys I took the plunge and sold off my procharger to go turbo. Let the critics come out!! Lol..... anyway Im bought a GT91 and will be starting fab work next week... well finishing... I have already started. I decided to make the change after watching too many turbo Ls videos and it didnt help that my can was down because of belt issues after my truck alternator install. I was slimply tired of taking the blower up and down up and down when before I had a procharger a drive belt was a simple 3 min job!! The last straw was i slung the drive belt off and shredded it and that left me stranded one night after work. The procharger went up for sale later that night.....

Damn thats huge lol. sucks about the manifolds. i think im going to try two truck manifolds next time since ac is already gone. are you still trying to keep yours? what type of metal are you using for your kit?

Thanks bro!

I would suggest making a solid mount for the turbo, place it where you want it, then build off it to the manifolds. It looks like a good start.

Thanks for the advice.... Im gonna finish the manifolds then Ill hang the turbo and build the connections between the two.... I still have to swap the k-member out.... Ill do it this weekend hopefully..... if the wife does't demand too much time.

That's a huge turbo for 800-900whp. Why didn't you use a 76? On an 80?? Easier packaging, faster spool, probably cheaper.

And maybe its the camera angle....but it really looks like one of the manifold runners is pointing upstream. Am I seeing that right?

not to be an *** but that manifold looks like ****, theres gotta be a better manifold that fits than that...dude ya got a sweet car, just looks like ya rushed a little bit.
looks like some of the exhaust ports are blowing against one another

p8ntslinger676

ya, about those manifolds, if your spending all of this money on a turbo why not just go ahead and buy a good set of forward headers? better to do it right then rush it

Im not saying that all I want is 800-900... I want as much hp as possible! I know that capabilities of that turbo..... Until I get some better heads all I need is about 900 hp. I was thinking about the future.
