Default Early truck manifolds or c6?

I wonder if its fine to use early truck manifolds for a turbo setup. Came from a 2000 suburban 5.3l lm7. I have a set and it would be great if I can use them.

I also have a set of c6 manifolds.

Which would yo have chosen?

what is this vehicle you are working on? c6 manifolds didnt work for me on my trailblazer ss, had to make my own pass side, and use the stock drivers side manifold for a front mount turbo setup.

Well, the c6 manifolds dump in the middle and the truck ones dump on the end. Check what kind of room you have around the motor mounts/steering/ect

Just use whatever fits best for your application.

GenTT over in Australia used their kit in an R34 drift car. It placed the turbos in behind the headlights.

I have the c6 manifolds on my 6.0L z32 turbo build. They fit really well just need to make your engine mounts to suit.

I can't find anything about genTT, my plan is to place the turbo behind the left headlight.
