Sounds like your loving it Ducky, and that's all that matters!

I know when I went from rocking the STS for 2 years, to my first front mount, I've never looked back. Even though dyno and track times where close, the street fun factor went through the roof!! Spool is SOOOOO much faster on the street!

Thanks for all the comments! Keep em coming, even negative ones, it helps to revise the kit. All opinions are welcome.. except Dannys. lol KIDDING.

just got curious after looking from the pics, but havent really looked at my truck to see if there are any obstructions. maybe even use a pass side manifold on the drivers side??
edit: just thought of the power steering pump, that might be in the way..?
I have seen a few DIY turbos that have routed the pipe in front of the engine, but I believed they used a custom made log manifold because of how much tighter the routing was going to be

Blackyss13's truck is like that. He had headers though, but you could do it basically the same way with manifolds.

Its a lot more cleaned up now but heres a link to old pics of it.
