Turbo 4.8 LY2

Hey guys just recently purchased me 07 Silverado 1500 with a 4.8 ly2. Now I'm looking forward to turbo my engine.

From the videos ive seen on YouTube some people have a rear- crossover pipe that goes down under bellhousing back up to driverside. Others I've seen front facing to hot side....

My question is does this make a difference? If so which would be better front facing or rear?

Either way works and you won't notice any noticeable difference.

GO behind the engine if you can.

having a 1600*F Pipe running across the front of the car, near the balancer and radiator, and all those accessories. Not desirable.

Oh ****! king talon is back. And having the hot side across the front is little to no different than behind.

Understandable but I'm trying to keep my ac and heat...... its already a tight fight so if I went behind the engine I'd have to delete something to run the exhaust pipe from the turbo
