I plan to do a truck manifold turbo install And had a question for those of you with this setup. Did you remove your swaybar to make room for the downpipe or did you run your piping around it? If you left the swaybar on, how did you route the downpipe? Under the swaybar then back over the k member? If you took off the swaybar, how did it affect your handling or the ability to make a quick (emergency) turn? Its mainly a street car and I am already going to be giving up my favorite creature comfort (A/C) and am not sure about the swaybar thing

Thanks!

 

I didn't give up AC but have a truck manifold on 1 side, the side with my 4" DP. I took the sway bar off way before I ever knew I would add a turbo. I could tell the sway bar wasn't there but later added SFC's, then a Wolfe anti roll bar, then a Wolfe 6 point roll bar, & all of the above gave me WAY more rigidity than stock with the sway bar still on.

 

Are you road racing?

 

I got a 4" dp and have it go over my sway bar

 

How do you have the crossover pipe setup that you have to worry about the DP hitting the sway bar? Seems like the turbo would be mounted too low..

 

I have some pics here

cross over loops under the sway bar on one side though

 

you can try spacing it down a little to give you more clearance

 

i dont think hes referring to the downpipe. i think he means the crossover pipe.

 

Oh that makes more sense. I just bought a truck manifold kit...I hope it clears the sway bar since Ill be autocrossing it...
