Not these builder kits shown in this thread. I can do a kit to keep the A/C though (the price may change a little).

Just trying to get an idea since alot of guys on thirdgen.org look for turbo kits but there arent any...just having a readily available log header or something would be a helpful starter point.

I dont think i have good pics of the stock kmember and such. let me see if these work.





motor


accessories with ac delete


driver side is the tight spot. Easier to take downpipe between cylinder 5/7. 7 primary swings out around and next to the booster.



See its alittle tight

Looks pretty tight. I would definitely need a mock-up vehicle I think.

Thanks for the picks!

Thanks.

I don't do LSx stuff, but search for "Modular Turbo", they are a vendor on ls1tech and may have something.

Not it doesn't, just the hotside piping and manifolds.

A new turbo alone will run you in the $800-1200 range

for those of you asking 3rd gen questions, I don't think that this will clear the traditional SBC motor mounts no matter what you do:

I think for $1500, you can get all ebay pieces (turbo, wastegate, BOV, IC, piping).

I have both kits (the one with the cast manifolds and the one with the headers) still for sale. These are both for LT1 engines (I see you sig shows a LS1 vehicle).
