Looking for photos / advice

Ok. So here's the deal. I have my 87 iroc-z.
I'm in the prices of building my 6.0 / T56M combo.
Will be running single or twin turbo. Was thinking twins but after some chatting with Richard Holdner and my engine builder. A single will perform equally. Had anyone done a single turbo LS swap in a third gen with a tubular Kmember??
If so. Can I get some photos of how you piped everything? What were your obstacles/headsches? And how did you solve it?

Thanks in advance.

If this is not the right section, I apologize. I figured the Kmember would open up some real estate so I came here first.

My car is an LS swap front mount turbo setup with a BMR tubular K member. I run the Hooker turbo system and I made my turbo mount as tight to the engine as possible with the wastegate getting priority in direct flow of exhaust. There's a crossover pipe going under the motor close to the transmission pan. With the way mine is there was no way to send a downpipe out to the back of the car. These are older pics with the old 80mm turbo. There's a 88mm in it's place right now
