[QUOTE="Topgunz, post: 1276201, member: 20689"] Ahhh. Thats where the confusion comes in. This is a large single turbo setup. The beauty of the build is that the 6.2 already did the hard work and made me a nice collector pipe. It is 3.5" pipe at that point where the stock resonator would fit up to the collector ball flange. This is where I will mount the single turbo. The charge piping will slip right through along side the sub-frame away from any heat source and the filter will snug up right from the intake of the turbo. The turbo will be mounted and clocked in an orientation that heat will not become an issue. Nothing will sit remotely close to the oil pan and it will ingest cold air. With the Oil-less Comp turbo it will not require and oil source so no messing with dropping oil pans and all that crappy/messy work. It simply is a plug and play T-fitting to the heater hose for feed and return of water. I know its hard to picture it since it has not been attempted. A few posts back someone said that "there have been a few guys that have attempted to build their own turbo setups"....but I dont believe it. I cant find a single instance of this. Certainly not a single turbo build. I dont know, for some reason this just seems easy to do given all the space and that sweet collector pipe just sitting there begging for a turbo. :biggrin:. If this works it will be a 2 hour turbo install (with water feed/return), 2 hour piping, and 1 hour injector swap. I bet someone could take a kit like this and slap it on in 5 hours. I have a guy that has tuned hundreds of the 6r80 trannys and that seems like it is the most difficult part. [/QUOTE]
