I made a new thread to keep dave12's nice and neat...
Dave (or anyone else who may know), instead of branching off the ypipe to "feed" turbo could you simply split the exhaust directly off the manifold like this...http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...rdsetup009.jpg
That is on a 3800 V6 camaro, is there enough space to do that instead of running a pipe all the way back from the ypipe?
This would be on a 2.8 fuel injected in a 85 camaro, no ac

Re: Turbo
Do you need the exhaust from both manifolds or can you do something like this...

Re: Turbo
You need the exhaust from both banks to run through the turbine.

Re: Turbo
Ok thanks
Do you think the passenger side header from this set of S10 2.8 headers would fit backwards on the drivers side of a 3.1 with the AC removed?
and then modify the "drivers" side to fit on the passenger side of the 3.1...
I'm trying to see if dual forward sweeping headers will work, instead of gathering the exhaust from the ypipe and going under the K member
