Default converted my brother- need some help on a custom turbo set-up

i let my brother drive my truck today on 11psi and he couldnt get a **** eating grin off his face

i asked "so when are we doing yours" he said "now "

he has a 2004 RCLB z71 silverado 5.3L 4l65e-

i was wondering if anyone has any pictures of custom front mount or conventional turbo set-ups----


can we just flip the manifolds bye anychance? then make a crossover pipe???

he doesnt want a rearmount because he goes off roading alot and just doesnt want to have to worry about the turbo or intake

we are just gonna run 6psi intercooled with supporting mods because it is his daily driver

There are some pictures of flipped manifolds around, they don't work out too well. He should try out the Trick performance front mount and tell us how it works.

I have a log style manifold and I made 95% of mine myself.

There are verious pics HERE . If you don't have the widest radiator (like I have) you don't have to go under the core support with the charge pipes to the intercooler.

I have the factory manifold on the driver's side. My manifold is a used CMotorsports manifold and that is why I ran it underneath. If you have E fans you should have plenty of room across the front.
