It was an option but I wanted to experiment with this manifold first and see how it fits and performs. I actually have the drivers side hooker manifold and crossover on this setup.
@@Janky214 gosh I hate how my brain goes back and forth. When I first started all this ls stuff I wanted to do a 408 build. I told myself I could save up and do it later. Then I said f it I can do a turbo and make more power. Just running in circles
Yes on this design you do. Only way around it would be to block off both and get a wastegate welded on the turbo housing. But it would have to be an open turbo and not divided like my VS racing 7875.
Nah not really. They had the cam I wanted (BTR Stage 4 cam) in stock right there on the spot for me to buy (merchandise tent during RaceWeek). But after talking about my needs, goals and current engine combination, as weird as it may sound the BTR stage 2 twin turbo was the best option. It would have the best street manners for Drag & Drive events and faster spooling at the track.
Thanks for sharing bro, this cleared up a lot for me that I didn't get from Summit's video.
Glad you found it helpful 🤘🏼
Keep the videos coming brother! I plan on putting a turbo on my 72 monte.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
You could punch a hole thru the common wall from the forward facing wastegate Access port. And cap off the rear wastegate port.
It is definitely a possibility, someone more skilled and willing can open up the inside for sure with the proper tools and make it an opened.
Why not just get the hooker turbo manifold setup?? Fits lots of different vehicles and you can get a crossover that fits all kinds of transmissions

Don't like the driver bank feeding into the passenger log. Much better to tune a split stream log so you have true left and right banks.
Thanks for sharing man..

Looks good. I think I getting rid of my turbo stuff. I’m planning on just building a solid 6.0. We will see
Don’t do it, reconsider! Im uploading a new video right now of it on the car. This may be an option for you too!
@@Janky214 I don’t really need the power like that. I’m not racing. A 6.0 with cam maybe ported heads and headers should get her moving.
@@theshark2804gotcha totally understandable
@@Janky214 still got to find a block and part to justify everything. I got 2 leads for blocks under $500 so we will see

Why does it have two wastegate ports?
It has 2 wastegate ports because its a divided manifold and each side gets its own wastegate.
@@Janky214 does it really need both though?

Where is other side
The other side is the Hooker LS Turbo Manifold Part # 8511HKR. I have a video on it showing how it fits.
Cam, lol 😂, sold you what they most in stock that everyone else didn’t want lol

Looks restricted to me .
