dOk, here is the much talked about by me thread. Since everyone else is making a thread and I have learned a lot of info from them its my turn to give back. I got this car about a year ago and it had an F1A on it. I drove it around for maybe 300 miles after swapping the th400 to a 4l80. I got tired of the loud blower whine at idle and it takes away from the sleeper look that I am after with the stock wheels on the car. I sold the F1A and purchased the Gt91 from Forced Inductions. I am using a set of ls3 5th gen manifolds that are turned upside down and I cut the flanges off. I then welded thickwall stainless 2 1/2" pipe to them and a v band. Then made a support that I kinda copied from Dschmittie, thanks. I also put flex couplers in the merge to the turbo. Well here are the progress pics that I have so far.
The car. Looks like a stocker, lol.

Thanks guys. Everyone does the truck manifolds and dumps the Ac off he car. I didn't want to go that route so i got creative and this is what I came up with. No one has used the 5th gen manifold in this way so I am having to figure out everything on my own. I got the downpipe tacked together today, but not happy with how low it hangs. Probably going to cut it apart and redo it.
