your going to either have to modify the pipe alot or notch the frame to make a large turbo and 4" dp fit, because the pipes currently put the turbo way to close to the drivers side frame rail to make anything bigger then a 76 and a 3in dp fit

If you have the fabrication skills and money to spend when something breaks and does not fit, let us know how it turned out.

If your going to do the modifications mentioned, why not get a set of truck manifolds and built a merge/downpipe?

with what you said you would have to rework the entire kit, and at that point it would be easier cheaper and faster if you just did truck manifolds

Have you looked into how large a turbo you can fit with the stock ebay kit? Reason I ask is figure out where your at before you make any decisions.

I had a pt88 in there but spool time is affected due to the DP restriction. Mine was a PTK not ebay so quality is better. Flip the turbo so the inlet is on the frame side and send the exhaust outside of the passenger side like a manifold kit and youll be good. Good luck with it.

I ran the ebay kit. For the money it is hard to beat. The piping was good quality and the welding was pretty nice also. I had issues with the downpipe but I was pretty happy with it. I did 500whp with an MPT70 @ 8psi, it might have been higher but my clutch started slipping.
