Default Custom Remote mount Turbo Y-pipe!

I brought this Y pipe off of Dave(Quicksilverado) a few months ago. Havent even put it on my truck. Its a great looking y pipe with all mandrel bent 2.5" pipe and fake cats. This is a Great upgrade over a traditional STS setup. This Y pipe places the turbo closer to the engine. The turbo will set right behind the trans cross member. Dave had it built around his 4l80e tranny so it may be nessery to have a 4l80e for this to work. Which is recommend for anything over stock anyway. It bolts directly to the stock exhaust manifolds. Both exhaust pipes are routed to the passenger side so it would make it easier to drop the tranny.

This Y pipe is setup for a T4 oncenter turbo and a 38-40mm wastegate. I was going to use a Turbonetics TC78 on this setup. Another great thing is the Y pipe has just been freshly Ceramic Coated black. Im also going to include a piece of mandrel bend intercooler pipe. It goes from the turbo to the front side of the frame rail. Im asking $500 shipped for everything! Heres some pictures..... Oh Turbo/wastegate NOT included sorry... haha


Thanks

Justin

This setup spooled up my t76 almost as fast as the front mount setup
I am running now. It does require you have an 80e tranny without the bottom TC cover.

I made a setup similar to this awhile back and it's night and day compared to the STS setup. It spools way harder. You do have to run an oil pump though.

The cats are empty shells and they are welded to the pipes. They are there to pass a visual inspection.
