Rear mount turbo system

Looking to put together a rear mount turbo for my 06 crew cab 1500. Curious if anyone has underside pics of where they mount the turbos and run the piping. I know every custom job is different and I am just wanting to get different ideas. Thanks for any help

You can also search the show and Shine section for STS or Turbo.

I agree 100% I made my own this summer, I love it would do it over again? in an instant, but the fit and finish would be better if i could have bought a bolt on kit.
little things like the wire harnes, intake, exhaust, is where i fell short it works well but it aint pretty, plus the cost of doing some things over. If i could have bought a used kit i would. If I could have bought a complet kit and spent more time on somethig else(my transmission) anyway hind sight is always 20/20.
I ran my charge pipe on the outside of the frame rail. Above the frame in a gap by the wheel arch from the turbo and under the frame in the front. no loss of ground clearance. One long pipe along the frame painted tucked up tight. cant see it unless you look for it.
