6.0L S400 front mount set up??
Hey guys I'm looking for pics anyone might have of their front mount s400 framed T6 turbo. Did you have to move the radiator forward at all?? How involved was it routing the piping?? Easier to work with a tubular k member?? Any ideas you guys might have throw them my way my time to get this underway has finally arrived. Thanks guys

Tube k is definitely a positive lol. Frees up some weight and leaves alot of room.
Makes it easier to build exhaust side and access plugs etc
Depending if you run downpipe under motor or not. If you go out the fenders which i dont like then guess it dont matter
Probably can squeeze the turbo inbetween motor and rad. Depending what accessories you run. I thought i seen pics on instagram or fb groups but dont have any on hand.

Its tight but depending on your header design and if you dont have ac box, you can fit 4” downpipe on pass side firewall

Re: 6.0L S400 front mount set up??
I'm thinking of using headers like these down and forward ones from xs power. I was looking at the Holley turbo manifold setup but after seeing a guy on ls1tech using them on his 89 bird there's zero room on the passenger side. But up and forward might work out better maybe then the downpipe could just go under the headers and down
