Default thinking about starting turbo project have some questions

I am thinking about doing a single turbo setup. Can I use mac shorty headers and switch the sides around or would I have to modify them? also are those mac header stainless steel or not? If I did the setup with normal steel and had them jet hot coated would it rust? thanks I might have more questions a I come up with them

the shiner boys can help you on this one. Shine1stang is getting a turbo setup done in the very near future.

I honestly don't think it would work if you just turn the headers or switch them around. You'd have to weld on a flange to attach to the turbo anyway and you'd have to make the headers collect into single collection area to run the turbo.

I knew that Im going to have to fab the pipes from the headers to the turbo. I have been reading about them for awhile now. So im not completly clueless.

Only if you do a remote-turbo.

GT EATER would be the one for the turbo questions. The one shine1stang bought was already a kit.
