OK you may have some extra stuff here because when I did my return line I ran 3' off the tank and put a connection where the factory lines disconnect, that way if I had to drop the tank in the future I could disconnect it before lowering the tank. I also had a few left over fittings that I wasnt sure I'd need .

Here are the Summit part#'s the quanity is before the part#
1 AEI-15118
1 MAA-4305M
1 RUS-640171
1 SUM-220165B
1 SUM-220830B
3 SUM-220832B
1 SUM-221302
1 SUM-221312
1 SUM-221322
1 SUM-230820
3 RUS-660861
1 SUM-220641N
1 SUM-220844B
1 SUM-220846B
3 SUM-221302

SPEED INc PART #'S

I'm pretty sure a couple of people already have done what you are wanting to do. If I did it over again I would use a LS2 GTO manifold, it dumps in the same place I've heard but dont have that funky flange that the vette manifold uses.

Man, what a sweet build! This surge of DIY turbo builds lately has really made me change the direction of my car. This method of using the LS2 passenger and retaining the AC is crucial.

Holy crap, there are a billion V band clamps in your setup. That alone must have cost a small fortune! And its all in Stainless?!? It looks fantastic. I've been thinking about mig welding a DIY turbo for the last few days now, and I guess I'll end up settling with mild steel. Does anyone know a good source for mild steel VBands?... or is it pretty easy to fab in stainless clamps on mild steel with a mig wire?

Either way, have any of you guys had a problem with your clamps coming loose with time? I've got them on my LT headers now and they seem to loosten up after about a week. Using 2 nuts is the key there.

Thanks, I only have 2 V bands on the crossover and 2 that came with the wastegate for the waste gate, the 2 that I bought I seperate came from columbia river. All my hot parts I made out of 304 stainless, if you want to use stainless flanges on mild steel get some 309 wire for your mig machine also you will have to use pure argon to sheild it.

It starts to spool around 1500 and is in full boost by 4000. That may change soon though, Ive had some boost bleed and have tried many different things to try to cure it. I now suspect valve float & ordered some patriot dual extreme springs. Hopefully I will know for sure if that fixes it by the weekend.

Thanks, well so far it went 11.20 @ 123 bleeding 3 psi off by the end of every gear ( I'm at the end of 4 gear by the end of the 1/4). I hope that will improve with new valve springs though.

Did you get the valve springs on? Did it help?

Yes I got them on and no it didnt help. I found another super tiny pin hole in one of the aluminum welds around a bung & I really dont think it was hurting me but I still fixed it. I also found that the o-ring on the wastegate hat I just replaced was leaking & was cut (super difficult to change). I replaced it but havent had a chance to test it out yet.

Not sure what oring you mean. What wastegate are you using? Could you take a picture or show it in a diagram? I am hunting a similar problem hence the detailed interest. Thanks in advance.
