enough room to flip drivers manifold around?
#26
ok, after some reading it looks like a rear mount would be easiest for a first time home fabbed turbo on a s10. i dont think stock manifolds are an option with a ls swap so i will have to grab a set of 1 5/8 shorties and wrap them. would you guys wrap all the way back to the turbo on a setup like this? seems like ALOT of wrap. does it help with spooling THAT good?

Wrapping from manifold to turbo made a HUGE difference back in the day when i had the STS on my truck. I'd use stock manifold if you can fit them. They hold the heat in much better. You need to keep as much heat in the pipes as possible to the turbos to help it spool. Headers always hurt rear mount setups.

if the stock manifolds will work i will use them...i dont think that they will though. i'm definately treating this build as a budget build so i plan to use as many stock parts as possible. the silverado got out of control there towards the end (cost wise). i do hope to make the silverado look slow thoughi think the weight and 60' capibilities of a s10 will make it easy.
