Default Need STS turbo installation instructions

Long story short I have been waiting on a used maggie for my cts-v for a while and none have come available. I have a friends sts turbo kit off his 06' gto that he gave me for a favor before he parted with the car and the insurance took it. I am considering modifying this kit for my car. Does anyone here have installation instructions for this kit??? I am also worried because I will have to modify the stupid exhaust in my car to fit the system in yours, where the headers go into a single exhaust pipe "the little y you guys have after the cats" while ours stay dullies the whole way back. If you have two pipes come out of your engine why force them into one when its not necessary and loses power unless that one pipe is like 5" inch diameter??? besides the point. This is the kit I got. Everything besides the bs clamps and some hose.

By your post, you sound like you have no idea how a turbo works. You made a huge mistake if you paid any money for the kit. Not only will it not fit your car, but you're going to spend even more getting all the right parts again.

Sell the kit, and keep your car stock until you understand the concept of how a turbo works, in this case a rear mount turbo. I'm not trying to be a dick, you will be thanking me later.

Yep, that's why I said if. He doesn't get how a rear mount works and why you need to merge the pipes together. When I read that, I was concerned that he was wasting his time, money, and potentially his car on a poor decision.
