What kind of boost are you planning on running on the car?

This is my nephew's car and a good forum for help with turbo's. Best of luck. He used a camaro mid and upper intake for his setup.

[link]www.Fullthrottlev6.com[/link] also has several Fbody turbo cars there that can help you out with information as most of them were homemake setups too.

I don't know if the 3.8 manifolds can bolt up to a 3800. you might have to get shorty headers and cut the flange off and flip them.
