Default Going turbo... Few Questions!!!

Alright guys...

Ive had twin rear mounts on this truck...

2003- 5.3 ext...

Ok.. I have a few questions..

Does anyone make turbo manifolds for front mount twins for these engines....?

For oil supply the return is gravity fed... But is the inlet pressurized by the crank case pressure??

Thanks in advance!!

Parish and CMotorsports are the folks to talk to. I saw the TT Toronado that Jay Leno had built using an LS1 engine, seems like they flipped some stock truck manifolds and welded on a mounting flange. It's probably not so easy as it sounds tho!

i believe i read somewhere that the 5.3 grandprix or impala manifolds work on trucks when flipped, the manifold outlet ends up in a better position than flipped truck manifolds.

If you flip the stock manifolds on the truck, would it interfere with any accessories.

Flipping them up, puts them to close to the coils in my opinion. Swapping them like the F-body guys front mounts, you would have to ditch the AC on the pass side and they hit the power steering pump on the drivers side. I'm with Parish, they just don't fit right no mater what you do.
