you could have mated the 6 sp onto the 3.0, many would argue, but for a turbo application, IMO 3.0 will be more reliable than a stock 3.5 all day long boosted.. maybe youre planning on building it perhaps in the furture ??

fix that front manifold joint, put more angle on it. Nasty choke point. Other than that, looks good

There doesn't seem to be much room to work in there.

Larger the piping going into the turbo, the longer it is going to take to build full boost/spool up. So it depends on the setup and how/where you want it to start spooling.

fyi you do not want the turbo bolted to the car it needs to move with the engine and tranny

The way you have it your feedpipe is going to crack

thats just a bracket to hold the turbo in place so i can make the feed pipe and down pipe. why do you say the feed pipe is going to crack?

motor will torque with throttle response and boost. Feedpipe bolted to motor-turbo bolted to feedpipe, turbo bolted to frame..unless you do a serious flex section, the pipe is going to stress and crack, itll have no give.. unless of course, you go with solid mounts.lol

oh ok i see what you guys are talking about. my old setup had a plate holding the turbo to the frame and never had any problems but that setup wasnt making alot of power. this time around i cut up the old plate just to hold the turbo in place so i can make the feed and down pipe. i dont plan on using a plate to bolt the turbo to the frame

Are you going to run an open dump on the wastegate or put it back into the exhaust?

Open dump tube

If the car is going to be a DD might want to rethink that idea and route it back into the exhaust. For me it was cool at 1st but it got old really fast. Next time no more open dump for me
