2nd on the request for the specs. What manifolds are those? Is that a 3 1/2" or 4" DP?

The D-1SC in the first picture is a reverse rotation. Won't work with your kit It is perfect though for a C5 or 4th Gen Camaro/TA.

my brother lives in stephens city and i used to live in winchester! i sold the d1 to buy the turbo. its a garrett 85mm t6 hybrid. im using truck manifolds that i turned forward. the downpipe goes from 5" to 4" and stays at 4" all the way out. im waiting for a wastegate so i can finish fabbing the hot piping. the charge piping is 2.5" and merge into a 3" pipe.
