Yes, they are the SW headers. I think they fit very well. I should have the down pipes and wastegate done this weekend. Its a long process.

Re: 3rd Gen LSX swap Forced Induction thread.

Any more info on anyothers with pending turbo setups? I started tearing my LS1 build down. Running battery to the rear, Re-doing wiring and cleaning up, stripping engine bay for some paint. Stripping motor for Forged internals. Heres a list of of some pending stuff... Keep in mind I work all the time but I get a week off at a time..
-LS1 forged, stock crank
-Building a 4l80E
-Installed my 9" with C4 rear brakes and 3.25 gears
-Still trying to figure out hotside, would like to keep a/c but don't look like its going to happen

I'll start a build thread here after a while
