DIY rear mount?
DIY rear mount? Im going to be building a rear mount kit for my 02 camaro and I have a few questions. These are my current mods:
1.- LT's and True duals (I plan on removing them and putting back the stock manifolds and an off road y-pipe w/exhaust wrap.) Which off road y-pipe is everyone running? The only ones I can seem to find say for 98-99 only.
2.- HSW plate kit (going to remove it aswell)
3.- Performabuilt tranny w/ 3500 stall
4.- Small cam (dont know the specs, was in car when I bought it)
5.- Prof. Prod. intake (probably gonna take it off and replace it with a LS6 intake)
My plan is to use either a MP T70 or T76 turbo, which a/r housing would you recommend me to use. I plan on running 2.5" cold piping back to the intercooler and then out of the intercooler run 3" to the TB. From reading previous posts im going to run a Mocal scavenge pump. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hey man I went throught all the DIY stuff for a RMT myself, I can save you a lot of time and money. It was fun while i was without girlfriend, but I've decided to go back to stock 
I miss the neck breaking acceleration getting on the highway already.. and have just about everything you need to build a better than STS turbo system is for sale here

or I can help you with any Q's that may come up, cause I've been there myself.

u dont NEED to take off the LTs/ORY but if u have the time and resources go for it.. I heat wrapped my intermediate pipe all the way to the turbo and left the LT and ORY on - i start boosting at about 2700rpm and hit 10 psi at like 3250rpm. the manifolds also make it raspy, some say too raspy.
The oil pump u suggested is a fine choice. i'd go with the T76 with a .9x a/r hotside - nice mix of power and response.
To compare im running a t67 turbo with a .81 a/r hotside - mustang dyno with barely any timing i put down 490/520 lol

I actually did think about trying the MP T76 w/.96 turbine but I was really worried that it might not spool very quick. How well do you think it would spool with my 3500 stall?
This is the ory I'm using with 02 manifolds
