Yeah the crossover was custom fabbed, but it goes behind in the same location as the stock Y pipe, and meets back up in the engine to the turbo.

As you can see above on o2camaross, a lot of guys are running it in the front with good results. I personally wouldn't do it like that because of the appearance factor, but its working nonetheless.

Like David said, mine works very well, but it is different than just about everybody else lol. Its not the prettiest but in person, its pretty cool looking, just not as clean as putting the crossover behind the engine. Lots of ways to skin a cat

Thanks for all the pics they help big time. I like coming across the front with the driver side manifold because you use a lot less hot pipe. think i may turn both of mine round now. Looked like you eliminated your ac. Im planning on keeping mine so that will take a little work as well.

Did you try doing your turbo build with the truck manifold first is that why you had to go to the 02 car manifolds?

Yea , I had the truck manifolds, the 02 LS1 manifolds, my 2010 LS3 camaro manifolds and LS1 GTO manifolds and the fbody manifolds worked the best. My roommate is using the LS3 manifolds on his 2002 camaro and we are building a twin setup on his

I flipped my stock truck manifolds, kept the AC and ran across the front. More build pics here
