You should be able to use your stock headers. Just swap the left and right sides so that the pipes are facing the direction you need. If you have any other questions I'd ask chris.

you have a few options...

the best idea is to do a single remote turbo ... have a pipe come off the stock headers form a Y and dump into turbo...

second... do twins with the same concept... remote mounting them in the engine bay

**Remote means not connected to the manifold**

or you can have them remote mounted under the car... all three good ideas

you would want to use the headers from 94-98, the 99-04's have manifolds. or pick up some used after marketones. but they all will need to be moded for the turbo set up.

yea, i plan on doing it myself. I dont need a huge turbo, id love to run like 7 psi, or somthing low like that. I would be happy with a single turbo setup. I am just curious if it would be possible to rig somthing under my car at the Y pipe, just cut it right after the connection, and put the turbo there. but that would be real frankensteinish and i bet alot of shit would get on the turbo. But, would just flipping the headers around really work?

I have an 89 lebaron turbo i drive in the winter, i eat Monte Carlo SS's for dinner with it haha. So i have reliable transportation if my car goes under the knife.

TMA turbo setups are amazing, i just dont have 3400 to drop on a system. If maybe after a couple months.... but i think it would be sweet to have a decent turbo setup made myself. I can weld and am pretty handy under the hood, so we shall see

i gotta question too...would mounting the turbos so far away cause less power?

not really you do lose a little bit of psi throw the tubing going from the back to the front but Usually no more the 1 psi. however the lower engine temps make up for the loss in power from the slight decrease in boost.

actually, they put this system on a c6 vette, and they said it had no more lag than a basic turbo system. I think as long as you dont have any leaks, you wouldnt really lose too much psi or gain any more lag. That would be a sick custom job if that would be possible. That pic of the corvette above is gorgious.
