Default Any LT1 turbo guys out there? Have a question...

I am wanting to go the turbo route on my 95 Z28. Is there any manifold available to turn around like the LS1 guys do with the truck manifolds for the hot side? I thought about posting this in the FI section, but thought the LT1 section might give me better results.

Here are some methods

I run BBK mids,but I think you can get block hugger SBC headers to run LSX "style" setups.

lt1boosts stuff is nice, but not in my budget. I plan on welding my own manifolds but need a starting point.

The block hugger SBC headers look perfect for what I want to do. SNM, you said you "think" these would work? Does anyone have confirmation? Or better yet have any pics of their setup from an existing manifold setup?

I have thought about it, but after researching it, I decided I want to make good power.

In all seriousness, front mounted turbos do consistantly put down the big numbers over the rear mount. Plus, they look cool
