Default T-304 piping for custom turbo

I'm using the 6.0L truck manifolds for my turbo. Is there a company that sells this type of turbo piping already bent to fit a truck manifold setup for a trans am?

That is the truth.

The hardest thing I have run into with just doing hot parts is the DP. It's all real easy if you are sticking to one style of turbo that shares the same turbine housing. But when the turbo changes so does the DP.

I have found that offering just a Charge Pipe may work. Problem is if the end user can make his own DP then he has the skill to make his own Cross Over too.

nahh easy as pie, ask em what size V band is on the turbo outlet or flange and make a starter pipe with flange sized accordingly and a 90 bend...most of em take a 90 towards the K anyway....

Yeah, I could do that. Last time I tried this I was runnning the DP past the K-member. It turned into a what Turbo, What size V-Band, and What K-Member issue. I guess I could do it with a DP starter that a local exhaust shop could finish. Something that a customer could point down and run to the exhaust shop at least.

Hmmmm.....

Exactly what I just said, yeah give em a menu to fit their turbo but you still benefit from making the $$sale$$, not exactly hard to make the starter for the DP to get em going.

The rest is cake for em to get fabbed either by themselves or by a local exhaust shop.
