KY Turbo install

Well since the K-member has to be notched, what do I do with the brake line that runs along the k-member? Do I need to remove it? Also, because I can't line up the cross over pipe...test fitting. I can't tell if I need to run it above or below the sway bar. Every car that I have found from doing research, seems not to have the damn sway bar mounted...am I missing something here? Well I've hit a

. Until I can figure this out, I can't proceed. Any help will be very helpful. If you have any experience with this kit, please, please chime in.

Thanks.

Was your cross over made to keep the sway bar.

Don't know. All I can say, is the cross over really doesn't line up above or below the sway bar. I can't really test fit the cross over until the mani's are bolted up

Agreed. Unless you're a serious corner carver you don't need it anyway. The chassis will react better on launch and you'll save some poundage to boot!

I have never built a 6.0L manifold setup that kept the sway bar.

LOL love the plastic gloves on the IC ends!

I must admit, I do that often to cover my intake piping when working on my car too

Some more progress:

All intercooler piping routed and BOV attached. Picked up some fittings and line for the oil feed and return. Should be completed tomorrow. Alt and relocation kit is on the way.
