I think I got the last "old style" tubular style headers. I do believe they are selling thier "new style" log manifold style. You will have to get ahold of Rick @ Livernois to find out the details. Thanks for all the comments guys, I will post up videos as soon as we get it tuned. I hope to tune it tonight and go out and run 1/4 mile on sat but we will see if all works out.

stock size downpipe with that tubo? i was thinking of buying that kit and putting a bigger turbo on it but the issue was the dp was too small but putting a larger one on would have caused problems with the AC.
looks amazing regardless. very clean. nice job with the truck overall.

Of all the companies I've seen produce front mount GM GenIII truck kits I have not seen one that makes any attempt to relocate the dryer / hose assembly. Perhaps they felt it wasn't necessary (?)... or maybe they think its taboo to mess with the A/C (?). Its cheap and easy to run the truck over to an A/C shop, recover the R134a, and then reinstall it after line maintenance. An adaptor block could easily be fabbed in a CNC machine to move the dryer and big hose over more towards the passenger side. I know this is extra work and money but would add a real nice finishing touch to a top mount kit... and provide room to "grow". The new body style trucks will be up against the same thing... perhaps a little worse. As an example TTi fabs up a completely new custom A/C line for C5 TT installs that keeps the line away from the low hung passenger turbo. The custom line is supplied with the kit.
