Just watch Brunswick Diesel, father had a lot of problems with them during a recent conversion.

Yeh I don't recomend there work but they may have a off the shelf bolt on product. I recenly installed a 6.5 turbo motor into a SWB and the owner bought all the ancillary brackets , power steering pump etc off Brunswick, theu pump failed after 15 mins running in workshop stationary, shaft seal blown out, bent shaft, they did replace it under warranty though. Some of there advice can be abit dodgy too.

hey mate dewars sell both turbo manifolds and turbos to suit these motors. I would give them a ring i think there reasonably priced also. Depending on what the motor is in you should be able to run your standard manifold on non turbo side and just run crossover pipe to suit. Definitely worth doing speaking from experience.
