DIY Turbo help hey guys. im toying with the idea of turboing my car (ls1 commodore) and was woundering how a single turbo running off only one bank of the motor would run. Has anyone tried this. Do you think there would be enough gas flow to spool up the turbo and create enough boost?? would the difference in backpressure between the banks cause any problems??
Any help would be appricated

No, you can, my car runs one turbo with each bank and it would work, however its not a good idea to do with only 1 turbo.
I'm pretty sure my car would build boost with 1 manifold running a single and the other free dumping exhaust like a standard N/A car
You need to make a cross pipe that connects your two stock manifolds together then runs to the turbo, its cheap and easy to do even with moderate welding skills and a descent mig welder.

You could try to build some kind of hybrid turbo with a compressor that is twice as big as the turbine, but still don't think it would work. Just not enough energy to power it from 4 cylinders.
