LFX Manifold, turbo charger bolt on.
Im just going to throw this out there for discussion because I have not found any information regarding my view about the LFX manifold seaming to have a near perfect flange for bolting on a turbo charger, also seams like a perfect location as you can direct the exhaust straight down with plenty of room for other necessary air pipes. What do you think?
I wonder if any manufacturer or gm is looking into direct bolt on kits to create the twin turbo LFX.

Can you find anything that will fit without relocating a lot of stuff? We couldn't figure out how to do it, but we sure wanted to. No scavenge pump, better ground clearance, so on. I hope someone can figure out how to do it, but it just looks like the perfect way to bolt on some power.

I could see someone building a adapter plate for the flange or manufacturing the turbo with a matched flange and maybe angling it accordingly if needed i don't imagine it would be to hard with the proper equipment/machining tools. something i do not have and my wife would not be to happy if i started wrenching on her brand new Camaro, lol im just hoping somone comes out with it so that by time i got some milleage on the car ill become more brave to wrench it.
Also i can see this type of system reducing the costs over the current systems as i will not require as much labor and material. |

Has to be the right turbo to actually fit, things get tight around the ole snails.
