gearbox mounted turbo

[ozonehostile]

Would using the old manifold work If you made up a plate and pipe to bolt onto it instead of the turbo? Then route it up on top of the box?

He means making a flange to bolt to original manifold with a Pipe going from that to the new turbo position, im sure i have seen this done, unless you have to funds to get a full manifold made like darren has done many times lol

It would be a lot cheaper this way but unsure how efficient it would be, im sure someone will be along to correct me or explain more

ah i get it, in theory it could work yeah but like you said, the design wouldnt be very efficient and would require alot of precision work with either a welder or gaskets to make sure theres no leaks. it would probly be easier just to modify the original mani into a 4-2-1 than try and make a decemt plate and pipe.

pleas excuse the brilliance of my ms paint skills, but this is what ive done

me neither....

that oil catch tank.. did you make it yourself out of a filter housing?! looks real smart but not mad shiny like all others

Its a bosch catch tank, another borrowed truck part haha
