Some pics of a turbo setup Here are some pics of a log manifold setup i am making for someone. He will be running a forged shortblock with stock heads/cam for now and TH400 combo. I know us LT1 guys dont see too many turbo setups, so I thought I'd share. Here are some specs and progress pics"
1.75" primaries
2.5" pas. manifold with 2.5" crossover
44mm Tial style wastegate
3" main log
3" DP
Mild steel mig welded

My94TransAm - Thanks.
NemeSS - Yeah, when its hot... I wouldnt want to reach down there. Whe its cool though, it provides some of the best plug access out there better than most headers). The A/C is staying.

I have a lot of extra pipe laying around now and was thinking of building a couple systems similar to this to sell (need money)... Everything about the location of turbo and what not is perfect for a bolt on style kit (no major modifications).
You retain the a/c, retain pass factory manifold, and have a log manifold on the drivers side with a similar design to yours. Its good for as much power as anyone should need and super clean.
LOOKS GOOD!

ive owned a turbo lt1 car, and know how hard it is to change plugs at the track, pretty sure my exhaust was glowing cherry red after a hard run.
one time i charred a opti wire, #7 after a hard run day the track,
sucked for me, although i did go lo 11's
good luck

What I was looking at is the tubes that you weld to the flange. I think pacesetter just sort of press' the D in and then welds it to the flange. Yours look more oval though.

anytime you add a lot of cylinder pressure (turbo, blower, or even nitrous) it is good to have a strong valvetrain especially on the exhaust side. this is due to the much increased cylinder pressure when the exhaust valve is trying to open. you can break and bend things like the pushrod, rocker, valve. running a smaller exhaust valve helps this due to less square inches on the valve.
