FS: Front mount turbo hot side piping
I am selling the hot side piping from my front mount turbo setup. This kit includes:
-Crossover pipe that bolts to stock driver's side manifold
----contains an O2 sensor bung for the driver's side O2 and a flex joint under the transmission
----will fit 2wd or 4wd...there is plenty of clearance for a front driveshaft
----bolts and gasket for crossover-to-stock manifold are NOT included
----bolts and gasket for crossover-to-log manifold ARE included
-Log manifold on passenger side
----This is the Cmotorsports manifold that Parish used to run on his truck
----has a T4 flange
----has a bung welded on for EGT probe just below the turbo flange
----turbo flange bolts and gasket are NOT included
-Downpipe and mid pipe to bolt up to stock style cat-back
----contains 2 O2 sensor bungs (one just below the turbo outlet for stock passenger side O2 sensor, and one further back for a wideband)
----downpipe-to-turbo connection is a v-band (v-band clamp IS included)
----old crank case venturi bung just behind turbo outlet has been brazed shut
----mid-pipe contains a 3" cutout pipe with cap, as well as a flex joint
----bolts to connect downpipe to mid-pipe ARE included.
----bolts to connect mid-pipe to cat-back are NOT included
-JGS 44 Magnum wastegate included
----v-band connection to manifold and downpipe
----v-band clamps ARE included
----light (4 psi) and heavy (8 psi) spring are also included. Heavy spring is currently installed.
-Three 90* plug wires included
----these are for cylinders 2-4-6 on the passenger side. Cylinder 8 fits a stock plug wire with no problems.
This would be a great setup for someone who is running moderate boost levels. I am switching to a thicker manifold because I have run into problems with this one cracking, as I run 12 psi on the street and 15 psi at the track. This would be great for someone looking to run up to about 7-8 psi.
I started tearing down the turbo kit today. Part of it is still on the truck, but I should have it all off by Friday 3/7 at the latest. Once the manifold is off, I will inspect it for cracks and have Kyle weld it up good to make sure it's ready to go for whoever buys it.
I am asking $1400 shipped for this setup. I prefer NOT to use paypal for a large purchase such as this, unless the buyer agrees to pay the fees. There should be no fabrication needed on the hot side. This is all bolt-on and ready to go, and as stated above will fit both 2wd and 4wd models, any GENIII fullsize truck. The A/C line coming from the dryer will need to be rotated slightly to clear. See pics below.
The first set of pics here are the installed pics that I have to give you an idea of clearances and fit. These were taken after I first installed the kit. I have since removed the header wrap.
As I remove pieces from the truck, I will take detailed pics of them. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Overview of the layout
Here you can see the installed manifold. This is before we made the 90* spark plug wires. You can see why they were necessary
Here's a good look at how the a/c dryer needs to be rotated to clear the downpipe. This also shows the old crankcase venturi fitting that was brazed closed. Look down a little lower and you can see the location of the wastegate.
This shows the clearance around the front driveshaft and the driver's side O2 sensor bung.
Here's how the crossover is routed underneath the transmission bellhousing.
This is the area where the crossover and downpipe pass through.

I have some pics from today. I should have more to post tomorrow. I'll post today's pics in a sec. I'm not interested in any trades. I want to sell this outright.

New pics:
Three 90* plug wires
JGS 44 Magnum wastegate
Manifold and downpipe with turbo removed. You can see the EGT sensor bung just below the turbo flange.
Wastegate mounting points
Cutout angle 1 (my crappy plate will be replaced with a nice one)
Cutout angle 2
Midpipe to catback connection
Passenger side O2 bung
Wideband bung
