There are a few pieces not in the pics, but you get the idea.

FYI there is a remote mount that needs some work in the GM Classifieds.

The turbo is going on the truck.

As for the Cmotorsports kit, I wasn't aware that they were producing the kits for purchase now. I'd spoke with someone over there a couple of times and left my contact info each time to be contacted when something came of the kit and have never heard anything back. Can't tell from the pics on that setup, but is the turbo being fed at all from both banks, or is it just being fed by the passenger side?

There's a cross over tube, from the driver side to the passenger side. The turbo is fed by both banks. Having a turbo fed by only 1 bank is a BIG no-no.

Yes there is a crossover to fead from both banks.

My kit is used, it came from one of their local customers. I bought it from an individual, but CMS removed it from his truck and shipped it to me. I'm not sure if they are selling the kits of not. But, Sam is very helpful, give him a call to find out.

I know it's a big no-no, but I didn't see one in the pics and that's why I was asking. Now that I look though, I can see in that 1st pic where the driverside would feed into it.

I was gonna actually get in touch with you when I got closer to being ready to start something. But since you came in, I'll ask a couple things now on the pic of your setup here.....some of the things I marked I'm pretty sure on, but if they're labeled wrong let me know.

1. Turbo Flange
2. Wastegate Flange (?)
3. and 4. Not sure on these
5. Wastegate dumping back into the DP

TIA

Parish, notice I said your original kit. Nothing is going to come close to your current setup.

You have to admit though they have come a long way since the first kit.

Build it your self if you have the time and money.. I built mine using the same manifolds, and exhaust the truck comes with.. The intercooler and charge piping took alot of time the way I ran mine.. Not sure what the final power is but damm its fun driving, especially on cool mornings. Things falls off a little over 100' air temp outside.. These pic are while I was prototyping the kit out, I am in the process of building another one so everthing is dirty. sorry about that...
Anyone have an idea on how much HP the stock manifolds can move?
