mfewtrail Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Ok so here are my headers, how does the turbo get mounted to this as i've never seen an exhaust with a turbo on it or even the mounting points where the turbo mounts to. If you're really going to do a turbo setup, I would use the stock manifolds for simplicity, then just build a custom x-over. People have made 400whp+ on the stock manifolds. I would save those headers for a 3.4 you're not going to turbo...as you would have to do a good bit of modifying to them in order to put a turbo under the hood. If you're going with a rear-mount(similar to the kits STS makes), then that's a different story... Quote

Drummer Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Posted November 1, 2009 Which turbo would be better a front mount or rear? What does a 3.1 turbo cross over look like anyways just so I can get an idea of what mine should look like if i use the regular manifolds? Quote
Drummer Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Posted November 2, 2009 whats that piece sticking out on the bottom of the cross over? Quote
mfewtrail Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 whats that piece sticking out on the bottom of the cross over? That's where the tubing for the EGR hooks up to it. Quote
Drummer Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Posted November 2, 2009 Ok whats the best a front mounted turbo or a rear mounted turbo? I heard that there is more lag with the rear mounted turbo but i could be wrong. Whats the length of that crossover, and what size is the flex pipe? And lastly what size is the piping on the crossover for the 3.4 Quote
GOT2B GM Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 I would do a turbo under the hood. Quote
