Help with a diy t6 hotside

So I've been playing with the idea of building my own hotside. I have a months vacation coming up that I have to use so I figure I would try this out. This would be my first time "fabbing" up my own turbo kit so I was looking for some guidance.

I was wondering if there are write up out there on a "how to" with something like this. I can weld so I'm not worried about that but I'm a little lost on where to start and exactly how things should be. So if anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Basically looking to copy a build that has some type of directions. Thanks guys

Just wing it. lol That's what I'm doing. Learn by trail and error. Just look at all the builds on here and get some ideas.

Haha that's what I'm going to have to do if I can't find some type of guide. I figured it was worth a shot and maybe someone had a link to save me some time and material. Hopefully someone can chime in

silverbullet, those modified manifolds look really good. Are they both truck manifolds or is the less-modified one an f-body? What size/thickness tubing did you use on the RH manifold?

Umm they are the truck manifolds that I basically cut and sectioned. The passenger one is a little tricky when cutting , but as far as diameter of the add on pipe Its 2.125. The drivers side when cut off has a larger diameter so I bought a 2.125 I'd to 2.125 od pipe to transition pipe
