Need Info On turbo Build - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello,
I do not own a 2010+ Camaro, but I have a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT and I'm looking for some help. I want to build a single turbo kit for it, turbo will be in place of the factory air box, just like the 2010+ Camaros. There is a shop that builds them, but I will have to ship my car to them and such, I am not looking to do that.
Here is my problem, I have seen Pontiac G8s with the turbo in the factory air box location, but not sure how the 3" down pipe is ran because it seems not to clear the steering shaft, even if I make it an ovel. On here I have seen a couple of single turbo builds where the turbo is installed in the same location, I was hopping someone would share photos of the manifolds, crossover, and the downpipe installed.

Reason why I am asking this here is because the 2010+ Camaro and Pontiac G8 are distantly similar.
Any help will be appreciated! Thank You!

the turbonetics kit has the 3" down pipe routed between the radiator and front of the motor. Then it 90's exits out the passenger side. On the driver's side it has a single 2 1/2" cross over. It's pretty tight on that driver's side like you're saying.

Thank you for the response. I will look into that.
Anyone else? The kit is functional, but I am wondering what are the other ways.
