Talking Turbo headers

LS1 twin and single turbo headers. 1 3/4 primary tubes flanged for whatever turbo you are going to use. Fits with the stock water pump. Single complete w/ y-pipe dual placment relies on size of turbo`s. Call or e-mail for custom header pricing.

Thanks Nate

Will do soon they will be on the car.

MyTurboT/A What is it you want to do? They are custom headers we can make them to fit your needs.

It's about time someone started fabbing these up for others to make their own kits

I'm pretty much looking for a set of manifolds that will flow better then this 2in log i have now with a T76. I don't want to have to remove my A/C or P/S. What would have to be done to run a set of these headers on my car and where would the turbo be positioned? My car is lowered 2in so ground clearance is minimal. I also have a tubular K-member. Thanks, This could be a very good thing, I was just at a local shop earlier today talking to them about doing a custom log for me but this would be way better.

Why yes they are yours in the pictures we are also making some twins at the same time.

These will deffinatly out flow your Log now but these are a little more custom and will require moving some components. The turbo sits just in front of the pass head down pipe would go through the hole under the battery and along the motor where the A/C is. If you could figure another route for the down pipe the A/C could stay. Where is your turbo now?

So what would I have to lose accessory wise to run twins (T-70s)? I'd really like to keep A/C (always my definition of a street car), but I would be ok losing the PS.

Thanks,

Scott

Mine is mounted in the standard TTi location where the alternator is on the driver side bottom.

Stainless works is offering up the QMP headers on the "other" board right now. I guess Rob is walking away from them.

or if you could move the AC
like i was thinking as for the tubrotech race kit, and these headers you can move the alternator up top, like the street kit, then the AC were the alt used to go.

so what do the TT headers look like, where do they fit? how big of turbos can you fit on them (depends on where you put them)
would be sweet if they looked like Harlans.

It would all depend on where you could find space for your down pipes as to what you would loose or need to relocate. There is not a ton of room for everything in these engine compartments. These are completely custom you tell me what size turbo you are using or where you want to place it...if you have room. The twins will look alot like Harlands setup out front of the motor.

Draco I would love to do a set for the C5 what were you thinking size turbo placment...

Hope I got to everyones questions little hard to keep up with all the posts.

I would think a pair of T3/T4s would work well - nothing too huge and should spool up quickly. Or maybe a pair of 60-1's?

I don't know if placement in front of the motor would work for twins on a C5, not only thanks to the alternator but also the ABS/active handling computer which sits in front of it on the driver's side. I don't think this computer would react well to the heat. Turbos would probably have to sit down where the stock manifolds collect (I think this is where the TTi and LPE C5 setups have their turbos situated) - at least this should make the downpipes easy! but routing the pipes forward to the intercooler might still be challenging on the driver's side.

Now I'm no expert on turbo design... do you have any thoughts/ideas on such a setup? I know there is a market since TTi is the only really "affordable" self-installable turbo option out right now for us C5 folk.

I'd also consider a single turbo setup if it would be possible to fit a t76-t88 or so . Perhaps locating the turbo the passenger side front, with the crossover behind the motor.
