Who has done their own setup? I must say the prices on the kits are quite good! Does anyone do it without the custom passenger manifold? Im curious to see what others have done as well on their own.

There are a billion self build turbo F-Bodies, I assume the truck crowd is equally "do it yourself"?

Thats what Im talkin about! Thanks for the pics man! Yeah I know that link well. I build a T70 front mount set up on my 98 SS. But now with a truck im trying to lear how and where the best places to run the different parts are basically. Is your just a passenger manifold flipped and built off of, or is their more to what kind of manifold that is?

Just flipped both manifolds and ran the crossover in front of the engine. I had to move a few things around but was well worth it for savings of building vs. buying.

My build thread is below, shows all the pipes and how things were routed, what had to be moved and a pretty complete parts list of what I used, where I got it from and cost.
