Turbo hot side question

Im planning or going turbo on my camaro. Iv been asking around to see which way is easier to keep a/c, Iv heard you can run a truck manifold on the driver side and a c5 manifold on the passenger side. I was wondering has anyone done this, if so how do you like it?

Do a search for "C6 manifolds". There is a ton of information out there on this setup. Below is one example of a thread full of good info.

^ Why? The C6/Truck Mani setup is very simple. And you don't have to worry about scavenge pumps or your turbo(s) choking on water.

Here is a build thread that uses them.

Just a note on the C6 Manifold flange: You can machine down the manifold (or grind it) so its is flat and just uses a flat alumimum or copper gasket with a common flat flange.
