Default turbo build

im about to start my turbo build on my 2004 gmc serria 5.3. was wondering if some of you guys could post up some pictures of your hotside. was planning on using the stock manifolds and just flipping the passenger side up. would like some pictures to go off of thanks.

That's a pretty good shot of hotside pipes. Its a kbracing setup though, not flipped manifolds.

i'd get a price from kyle(kbracing). his prices are really good. he'll just fab up the hot side piping pretty cheap probably.

Or you could just break out a welder and make a kit like mine for around 1500-2000 bucks TOTAL.

I will be fabbing my up as well.
If you know how to weld and have decent fabrication skills then it comes out a lot cheaper than buying a kit.
Might come out looking worse or might come out looking better than a kit, just depends on the amount of time and ability you have.
