Turbo crossover length- both sides equal???
Turbo crossover length- both sides equal??? As the title says, I am trying to find out if the crossover pipes need to be same length?
Truck mani setup
76mm turbo
Reason I ask is for turbo placement. If the crossover should be equal length, the turbo will go where everyone else places their- in front of the water pump. If it does not matter, the turbo will go up a little higher and to the right- more where the battery sits. With the turbo placed the way the pic below shows, the passenger side pipe before the merge would be considerably shorter than the driver side pipe. Here is a pic of Kyle's old car for reference......
Let me know what you guys think
Thanks,
Andy

I will just do what everyone else has done and run it in the middle in front of the water pump
Point taken. When people like you and Brian give advice, I have to listen! Haha

If you look at our old setup, our turbo was offset to the passenger side and the tubing was very short on that side and longer on the driver side. You could tell which side of the motor had the short side and which side had the long side. Basically you will end up with a greater pressure in the header tubes on the short side.
