Front mount turbo setup, have questions

[liftedboost]

Well, ive been really wanting to do a front mount turbo setup on my truck, trying to get information ,parts needed and anything else i need to do this conversion. i am fully capable of doing it myself, i just do not know what will it effect. also since i already have the Sts turbo setup, is all i need is a custom manifold made ,y-pipe,and a retune? any information is appreciated, my trucks setup is in my signature if you would like to know what im running now. Thanks

When I went to the front mount I just purchased hot pipes from Nelson Performance. I bought a shorter oil line from the turbo to the pan, and then bought a few odds and ends from oreillys. Since you basically already have eveerything you will most likely be able to get everything locally. I also even used spare piping I had to mate the front mount to the intercooler.

You honestly need to read his post dude. You never read the entire post before you just take a dump and submit it as a reply. Since we are talking about facts here lets go over the FACTS of this thread and see how relevant your reply even is.

A. He has an STS setup and asked what is needed to go front mount.
B. He didnt ask about a cam swap
C. He didnt ask about going to a bigger turbo
D. I went from an STS to a front mount
E. I purchased hot parts
F. I purchased a longer oil feed line
G. I bought misc BS to do the swap
E. That was his original question, about what is needed.

Now if he asked me about how much power I made, about what else I did when I went front mount, well then I would have answered it. But he didn't.
