Using the stock manifold on the DS and having a cross over come under the truck and into the back of the log with the turbo mounted on the other end of the log. This setup is going on a 5.3 I'm putting in my dads '72 4x4 long bed with air bags
. Its being built out of schedule 10, 304 stainless pipe (about 1/8 wall). Should be pretty durable. If it works well, I may build a couple more

Maybe thats why your manifold is cracking . If the log manifold is made of thin wall exaust tubing the viberation, heat, and the weight of turbo will desrroy the manifold . is your sutup Parishes Old? I will hit a little more on this tomorrow .I have to get ready for work now .

If you pull to far or kink the line you have to get another one, or have one make. So care should be taken in doing this.
