Done fabbing the turbo headers All of those who went the truck manifold route can suck my 1-3/4" primary tube ***..
I know they aren't much to look out now, but once they're coated, they'll be ready to rock. The passenger side primaries sit about 3/4" higher than the driver's side to allow for a large downpipe. The collectors will be cut when we decide what to do with the x-over and turbo location.
Sorry for the crappy pics- camerafone

look good steve..
this will be a nice comparson between the two.
well try my set up with the 6.0 manifolds and we can get some nice comparsion numbers with your set up..and actually get some real comparsion numbers between the two!

On my motor, I will be running solid mounts with some custom fabbed engine and tranny supports, no need to clutter the engine compartment more with motor plates. Still deciding on the alternator- if it remains a streetable car, then I will put the alternator somehwere. Im still undecided on the downpipe, since my turbo will be sitting behind the front bumper, I may just have the outlet come out the side fender infront of the p/s tire..

Haha thats funny. Always nice to see people making their own kits. Maybe I missed this but you planning a single or twin? I'm guessing single since u said downpipe (singular) but you never know. Can't wait to see the project progressing.edit: just saw the above post, so its a single. what size you plan? T76?

Very nice.
It is nice to do all of the work yourself.
A friend of mine build a custom TT kit on his v6 mustang, trippled the factory rwhp of the vehicle, on a average person's budget. Nice to see somebody try something even more crazy on a lsx car

Well Im talking about average Joe who doesnt own a shop like Stenod or W2W, who have dyno's and unlimited funds..
When Im all said and done, I'll post the reciept tally.. I bet you it wont be over $15k in purchased mods.. Now if it was an average Joe who didnt know how to work a welder, then it might get a bit expensive..

Nice looking headers. Keep us all posted on your progress. There's nothing better then building something entirely on your own. Your project sounds pretty interesting.
With that big ol' turbo and some nitrous to help it spool, that thing is going to haul!
