98 Dakota V6 Turbo???

Im not quire sure what you area asking in regards to the intake. .

A single would probably be easier to build, and since this is not a maximum effort car, you wont complain about the loss of a few HP by not having a perfect setup.

If you put the turbo where the battery is, it would be very easy to plumb things I think.

What I mean is the intake plumbing. How would you attach it ti the throttle body?? Remote mounting it would make it easy.

Hows this?? http://www.dakotausa.com/vBulletin/s...ad.php?t=25826

Personally I cant understand what you are asking. How would you do it any different then a remote mount??????

Plumbing before the TB is really easy. Im not sure what is the "problem" you are trying to overcome. It would be much easier to mount in the engine bay then rearmount. It would be much easier to do the piping to the TB.

Rearmounts require a $400 oil pump that usually fails before 10k miles and will nuke your turbo along with that.

Thats what I am trying to avoid. What is the remote distance I can stay within and use no pump?? Also the heat issue, I need to stay away from truck electronics so I have to consider all of this in location. I also planned on using a spare garrett I have to get it up and running. It will probably be a little small but will work to get set up. Now since it is a V engine not inline, how would you go about plumbing the exhaust up to the engine bay? STS utilizes the existing pipe going back, this would bring it forward. I will do this if it is feasible, otherwise I will just use a V8. Just trying to figure out logistics

you cant use a remote mount without an oil pump.

Thats why I want you to mount it in the engine bay. You need gravity to drain the turbo.

Just take the exhaust from the passenger side underneath (avoiding the oil pan so the pipe isnt so low that it hits stuff when you go over bumps. bring it up on the drive side. Do the same with the driver side exhaust, Join the exhaust paths, then put the turbo on wherever you have room to also fit a downpipe in. I still havent seen any decent pictures.


....

I just looked at some of those pictures you put up and it looks like you might have more 'safe' room on the passenger side. as long as you can fit a downpipe then you should be fine.
If you have ever seen what v6 headers look like on a transverse fwd car, you can do the exact same thing, except since your moter is longitudinal, your exhaust will all come together on one side of the engine bay where you put your turbo. Put the turbup up high where the big empty space is in front of the passenger strut housing. You dont even need actual v6 headers, just route both exhausts to one side of the motor.

Its really simple as that for the manifolding. I dont know what you manifolds actually look like or how they connect though.
