Figure out exactly where you want the turbos and make sure you'll have clearance for everything. Put the turbos where you want them and tack your flange where it needs to be. I hard mount my turbos to the frame with braces which makes it even simpler. Once your flanges are where they need to be, pull the turbos out and run piping to the flanges from the manifolds.

Just use a small steel rod like you would use to hold the collector if you were building a set of headers. Once you figure out where the flanges need to be, you can hold them up with anything. It just needs to give you a point to build to.

Why does it matter if they are before or after? learn me 
as of right now i have about ~$3550, i still need to buy an intercooler and piping, oil feed/drain, wastegate piping, and a boost controller. Im also going to ceramic coat everything. ill probably have about $5100 in it when im done.
Thanks man!

Made a small bit of progress today...
Got the flanges cut off the manifolds so i can have V-Bands welded on this week.... Any tips on getting this welded? im having a fabrication shop do it. Ive read to heat em with a torch, weld them, then reheat them. Also have heard that you can just weld them. I guess they are a cast-steel material and not cast iron?
Got my hole cut for the radiator cap, and finally got my radiator to fit. ill do some final trimming when the engine is out so i can get in the engine bay and work. I need to figure out a way to make some brackets for the bottom of the radiator.

Twin a2w intercoolers. relocated both fuse boxes under the dash. relocated traction control and abs on drivers front frame rail. relocated cruise control under drivers frame rail. relocated tcs motor to passenger side head. relocated battery to the drivers side watch area. a2w intercooler reservoir will be on passenger side rear. running twin T-76 T4 turbos on a 6.8 liter stroker. should be around 1100hp and full spool by 2200rpm

Small update. I got my manifolds v-banded and put on today. couple of questions
Where does my down pipe go in these pictures? Between the block and motor mount or on top of the motor mount? (I do have a super turbo style k-member going in later)
If Anyone has any pictures to help me with this that would be awesome! Ready to start the hotside as soon as i can get my hands on a welder...
