Sweet. I'm here at LS Fest and getting too many ideas. Quite a few nice turbo set ups.

Re: ls turbo build

stainless headers, I will have to add a 3/8 flange with 2 gaskets to move the passenger header away from the ac compressor...

Re: ls turbo build

Not sure, bought them from an individual.. welds and everything look good. Plus they are 1 3/4 ports and I think the ebay headers are 1 5/8.. either way im going to have them jethot coated. If they are ebay headers hope the coating will make them last

Re: ls turbo build

I wouldn't worry about them. I put a set of ebay china stainless longtubes on an LS swap build, and they are holding up really well. Huge bang for the buck.

How long have you had them. All the ones I ever seen lasted about 6 months and breaks right off at the merge, especially after the heat cycles and the stress of the weight from the turbos. But then those I saw were on Hondas.

Re: ls turbo build

LONGTUBES. On an NA setup. I would never hang turbos directly off of a thin tube header. lol.

Oh ok, I misread the long tubes because all I saw was those shiny turbo headers posted earlier.

Re: ls turbo build

Very Cool. I have changed directions on my LS build and am about to pull the trigger on ordering a turbo set up. I'm following Denmah's sloppy type build from LS1tech. Most likely doing a VS Racing set up for now.
Like you, I want to keep the AC. What bracket did you have on the AC comp at first? And now you have a bracket from LSbrackets.com? Would you mind posting a link if you get time? Would you want to sell the C6 manifolds you started with since you're doing headers now? Keep up the nice work! Love the build.
