Default A Body Turbo Guys

What manifold are you running with your turbo and how's the turbo fitment? Specifically looking at the hooker and fahler manifolds?

There's a forced induction forum for these types of questions.

The fact that it is SWAPPED into an A-BODY means it belongs here too.
Lighten up, Geezer.

Im in GA as well. If you have a LS in an A-Body with a turbo, Id love to come take a look at the fitment. If you dont, glad you took the time to be an ***. Ive been here since 07 with 13 post, I just mainly search for ****. Couldnt find this answer, hence the post, boomer.

when I had a single turbo in my 67 Chevelle on a 5.3, I used the Hooker turbo manifold kit with the crossover pipe. It fits well.. you may have to trim the passenger side upper control mounting bolts but that’s it.. the passenger side manifold ha a 3” v band flange on the front so it’s easy to route it upwards to a turbo.
