turbos are cool but they require a ton of fabrication. looks like you have got it all to work nicely good luck. how much has the build run you so far.

These kits require the steering shaft delete kit...

I kid. It will fit. Small flat spot may be required when installing it.

looks good so far. i just dont see how the log style headers flow anything out of the 3 that has to 90* flow out of them. Why not just buy the chevy c10 truck headers and flip um? Iv seen um done a few times and it looks mint and not much fab work at all. But i do give ya some credit for doin it all yourself. Congrats eaither way.

It will make power fine. Here is some pics of engineermike's setup which has a log manifold where three ports enter at 90 degrees.

What would somthing this this cost? If I wanted to do a very budget setup, also AC isnt important to me if it helps with cost and clearance...

Mostly all the hot pipes and piping etc, and I would get my own turbo stuff etc

your setup looks very simple, and effective. the only thing that looks questionable at all to me, is the #2 cyl. primary going in to the log, but I'm sure it works just fine.

what size turbo are you going with, and what are the expected power goals?

Still deciding on a turbo, but I want faster than I was on my nitrous setup on the first stage 150 shot. I'd like 525+ rwhp through my big stall and th400, and mid 10's at 130mph on pump gas. Thats with the stock heads/cam/intake. A real motor will get built this winter.
