..this maybe laggy im not sure but..most v8 kits ive seen are rear mount turbo setups..maybe something to consider..plumbing would be long given you the lag but something you may want to research?

I made a bit of progress today, I discovered that the manifold angle on the SC400, pre 94 LS400 and post 94 LS400 are all different and from the pictures Ive seen it looks like the pre LS400 manifold might work. I might not be able to try out this theory until monday but Ill let you all know asap.
Also, this might be a stupid question and something I must have missed in turbo 101. Why do you have to use both exhaust banks for a single turbo? The only thing I can think of would be that the firing sequence of the only half the cylinders wouldnt provide consistant pressure. Does anyone have more insight on this?

That actually might be better for right now since I dont want to replace my injectors yet. I do plan on eventually going twin turbo and even going as far as replacing my pistons and cams but I want to get my manny tranny swap done first. The turbo setup im doing right now is just temporary and at the same time see if I cant help the 1uz community with the lack of FI options. This engine is way to cool to just be left in the dark.

All the 1uz turbo manifolds that retain AC are pretty much full custom, I am sure you can use part of the stocker but since I have not tried it I am not a expert.

First, go buy this book and read it a couple times.

Have you considered a turbo at the back of the car like the camaro and vette guys like to do?

That GTO system looks decent, but I'd be nervous about water getting in. With the air filter at a max height if like 8 inches, it looks like it's begging to shove water into your engine.
