Default Does anyone make a crossover for truck manifolds?

Just like the title says. Does anyone make a crossover for truck manifolds or has everyone custom built their own? I'm seriously rethinking my whole setup and might have my hot parts for sale soon. I would like to use the Gibson 6.0l headers but don't know if they will work. Ping King used one on the drivers side and said it fit great but I don't know about the passenger side. Is there anyone out there making these or am I on my own? Would love to have one made to put the turbo in this location:

do you have a welder? for the price you would pay for someone to make you one. you can buy a 110V welder and pipe, make the setup yourself, and still be ahead of the game when youre done.

Well I had it laying around and had to plug that end of the fuel rail so on it went.

I posted the because it is not as simple as buying a welder and creating one. It takes lots of skill and experience to fab up a completly custom crossover and not have it come out looking/flowing like dog ****.

I mean....I guess you do have to learn sometime...but I wouldn't want to learn making an essential turbo part for my car.

Does anybody with the truck manifold setup or any front mount for that matter have their DP going through where the alt used to be instead of the ac compressor? Is there enough room or does it have to be through the pass side? Just asking for asthetic reasons. If I go truck mount I want the turbine facing the drivers side. If I go custom and raise it up high like I want, I don't know if there will be enough room to wrap it around and out where the ac used to be and might have to go through where the alt used to be.

You can get a 2.5 through the driver side by just relocating the Alt...maybe 2.75 very tight. To get a 3" there are power steering lines and all kindsa lil perfect bends you would need. i didnt see a 3" getting through my driverside... and you need a minimum of 3". I have a BMR K- Member and if I relocated or adjusted the motor mount design it would fit. But..be able to weld. if you have stock K,,, I have NO idea!
