Flip those manifolds around and see if they fit. If not cut the ends off and vband them. Buy one of the new Turbonetics 7675 billet wheel in .96ar. Use a Precision 46 wastegate and a Tial or knockoff 50mm bov. That should get you 500 to 750rw depending on boost.

Oops just remembed you said Lq4, get the 1.15ar instead. It will spool super quick and be a nice street setup and package very easily.

I would have recommended a borg warner S475 I think the exhaust side is better suited for the 6.0. Not knocking the 76/75 it will do 700 plus rwhp but the BW s475 will do that to and costs half as much. And since this is going to have to be a custom hot side why not throw the T6 flange on it wont cost anymore and you will come out with 700 plus more in your pocket when its done. Just my two cents.

Not to mention you cant beat the reliability of the BW units.

I hope I made the right choice... I'm locked in on the 76/75...I would think that t6 flange will be to much for my goal not looking to go 900+ HP... thanks for all the input... I'm starting this build in January need to yank out the Ls1 First... next is figurine out the oil feed and return lines... my budget is 2800 all said in done
