Where would you refit a/c? Bumper exit exhaust or other routing?

No one else sells just a hotside that supports A/C including on3 or Huron best I can tell. Everyone wants to sell the full package.
I'm new to the whole turbo thing. Can you use just a hot side alone?

I picked up an l33 to throw in it before I blow the ls1 up, and when that happens I'd like to shoot for 6-700 wheel. I know that turbo won't do it.

A d I know a few people who made the same mistake as me and the 7875 actually spools faster in a M6 car.

If you have ever seen the expensive billet Accessory drives they mount it top pass. side and the alt on the top drivers.

I would do it like that, but without $2000 into an acc. drive. I can fit the stock condensor I think, or just get a small one and throw a shitty fan on it.

ok, that is exactly what I was thinking. I've done some research, let me pull my notes.

I'm about to find out how this cxracing kit handles a gt45 😁 I had most of everything already installed from a rear mount setup initially, so my build was more of a removal process lol
just buttoned it up and turned it over last night. Hoping to get the nose on tonight after work.
Mines similar to yours except i got 60lbs injectors, one racetronic 255, gt45 turbo, and an ls6 intake on the old 98 ls1 lol I do have a 3800 stall in a built trans though after the rear mounted t76 smoked the stock 4l60 lol

**Kit requires removal of the A/C, Low Oil Sensor, and lowering or removal of front sway bar

$1200 is pricey? You ever buy mandrel bends and spend the time cutting, fitting, and welding together a hot side? I am a HVAC tech and charge $85 an hour in rural Wyoming. I spent like $600 on pipe and vbands on my last kit and I’m not sure how many hours cutting and fitting the kit... then welding it together. $1200 is a bargain when you look at this realistically.

And I’m not exactly a total newb when it comes to fabbing turbo kits. Done more than a few and I used to build stainless LS turbo headers for a living. People don’t value others hard work these days.
