couple front mount turbo questions, headers forward/ diesel piping?
Hey guy I am putting together a few different plane for a front mounted turbo f150. Looking at a 70mm turbo stock internals low boost
Can I do a reverse header install like you can on some gm's? just swap the manifolds and put them reverse to a front turbo
or can I take the piping off of a wrecked f250 turbo diesel? and install straight forward?
thanks guys for any info will prob be doing tube myself in house so I'll by the parts from a friend with a mandrel bender and do the mig welding here sounds cheap hell yeah

You can swap the factory manifolds but you might need a 4.6L GT's for the passenger side. I was thinking about the same on my 5.4L when I was putting the headers on and the driver's side manifold will not work on the passenger side. Friend who built a turbo kit for his TA ran into the same issue and had to use a Chevy truck manifold for his setup. Works perfectly well for DIY kits, don't have near as many headaches dealing with exhaust leaks on OEM manifolds, and they will support over 600hp.

yeah that's just outrageous to pay that much for someone who can fab everything....
