your factory header flange is 3bolt (where the cat connected)? Am I missing something?

Mine were 4 bolt on my 16 ss a8

is there a difference? Maybe I'm seeing the picture weird

these are truck manifolds. the stock headers were to low. I will get some pics the next time I have them off.

ok cool you had me scared if that was how other ss were my turbo kit would be fubar lmao

I was like no way I had the oddball ss.... I bought this car 100% just to use as my giant fixture to build and design things and chevy give me a ****ed up car...

One adapter is done.

I looks like its coming together fairly easy for ya...
I guess playing around with custom on off turbo set ups for a while helps

parish8 · 01-28-2017, 11:15 AM

i have done maybe 10 set ups over the years. this is the first with a lift and it makes at so much nicer. it is coming together faster than i thought it would and so far i do not see any unsurmountable conflicts.

i think the cost will be right around $5k, maybe a little more if i do wastegate mufflers. this doesn't include any fuel system stuff or a meth kit and is non intercooled.

Not bad.. are you skipping the intercooler because your running E85 and Meth ?

Should run it's ass off, I'll got out on a limb and say you'll have a 9sec ET by early Summer

parish8 · 01-28-2017, 08:04 PM

I need the extra fuel from the meth kit and I think the meth kit will make up for the intercooler. I might add one later.

parish8 · 01-29-2017, 05:47 PM

I actually permanently bolted on a couple of parts. I am keeping as much of the heat shield as I can and wrapping everything. I added a little shield to the existing starter heat shield.

Umm, I think you are gonna need a stronger seat belt.

parish8 · 01-31-2017, 06:53 PM

Got one turbo all prepped and put on the car, also made a little heat shield where the silicone coupling is close to the manifold.
