Looks good! Are the exhaust manifolds going to be custom, stock or other?

Custom. Both are going forward with drivers side crossing across front to meet pass side from my understanding

What reason did you put the turbo there?

I have no idea!!! I've never seen one there on a truck. The guy at shop sent me some pics and that is where he put it. I like it though it's different plus it's hard to see other than the piping, so at first glance you can't see it. If I remember right I think it's something about equal length headers was the reason, but not real sure.

I looked there,just seamed harder and more heat on the engine parts.This is where I do them and it's pretty simple.With a smaller turbo like yours there would be alot more room.

I haven't really thought about the heat on the parts. The main thing I was worried about is the down pipe around all the rubber lines and wires.

those are some pretty intense headers!

the exhaust routing still looks pretty close to some of the hoses and such...
