Well, my boss at work just upgraded his turbo system on his 03 ford 250, his old turbo is a pretty large garret, unsure of the exact size yet. Typically, would this be a good choice to use on a ls? and my doing some searching, if i went with a turbo setup my headers would be useless? correct? then that brings up the rear mount turbo setup, but i dont see that very often, so im taking it as not a good choice, so back to manifolds im guessing? thanks in advance for the help/comments guys, chris

 

yeah, the LT's would have to go unless you went rear-mount. Rear mounts have done well but there are a few particular issues that swayed me to supercharge instead.

Hawk179 has a complete front mount system, proved for a 5.3 for sale.

 

well....i'll take you long tubes and y pipe off ur hands..... good luck with research chris

 

knock on wood:
i havent had any issues with my rear mount
its been goin for 3? years now and it was on a couple trucks before mine..

 

kb front mount

Nelson has a killer flipped manifold kit for $4800 turnkey

 

well jon, got any pic of your setup i could "copy" if i went this route?

 

well as in many other threads, i really dont have 4800, so iwas gonna go the used path, and do most of my own fabbing, but im not a guy looking for a 1000 setup and wanting all the benefits and looks of the 5000 setup, im very realistic, and very aware of the "you get what you pay for" i guess in easier terms, im on a used, budget, reliable, turbo build, if such creature exists....lol

 

PM silvermoo. He's been through both and could advise you well.

 

you are chasing a unicorn bud. buuuuut...... ambers dad has a abundant amount of pipe of various size....well so does ur uncle lol my bad.

just do it......

 

i will find out more on the turbo tomorrow, and post up, if it will work, then we will go from there, thanks for the help guys
