i saw where 99-02 f body manifolds can be modified to work. i'll go that route. i just happened to run into a truck with a STS kit on it up on a lift yesterday. what are the odds! lol. it doesnt look bad at all! just gotta figure out what size pipe and turbo to run. theres some lingo on turbos that i havent figured out yet

i figure 2.5" pipe to a merge collector would be good enough? or should i run bigger/smaller? this will be from a F body collector.

yea that should be fine.
i ran the stock truck exhaust to mine. As long as you get the turbo size/housings right you will be good.

Keep the piping pre-turbo small. You want to keep velocity UP!

lol, this is so different than the N/A and nitrous world i used to play with. going from 1 7/8 stepped to 2" headers with true dual 3" to stock manifolds with 2.5" pipe lol.

i would say the bottle is cheaper, but my last kit added up fast...$40 bottles get old. almost as old as running out of the crap! i read somewhere that nitrous is like viagra. once you're out it's no fun.
