Default turbo manifold ?

Alright so has anyone seen a lsx turbo swap into a 2nd gen camaro? If so what kinda manifolds did you use I was going to use truck manifolds flipped foward but after looking it seems like they will hit my steering box? I can't seem to find anyone who has done the swap plus a turbo? Any help or links to build threads would be great

Contact LS1NOVA, he has done this before with the same front subframe. He should be able to help out.

You can do manifolds down and forward if you like with the vette accessories.

I belive the alternator will be in the way with the vette
Belt drive. If there facing up. And I think the steering box will be in the way when they face down.
And I am doing a single gt45

Ive only done manifolds for a first gen but the modified truck manifolds would likely clear with the 2nd gen subrame too.

They are built to clear corvette accessories.
