Papa, my setup is an Aerochager mounted under the stock manifold with an adaptor. Adaptor uses a stock manifold flange welded on one end of a 2 1/4" (IIRC) 1/8" wall pipe, which massaged down into a square pipe to fit the AC flange. Nice piece of work really. It's got an EGT bung welded in. Downpipe is 2", since that's what the AC outlet is, couple tight radius bends to miss the A/C compressor, fits up to the stock flexpipe. Both parts coated with VHT silver paint. The welding is easily higher quality than you see at TAG Motorsports.
Intake piping comes from a filter mounted in front of the fenderwell, under the headlight, under the framerail, and across in front of the tranny to the turbo. 2.5" IIRC. Painted with VHT 500* black paint.
Charge piping is 2 1/4" IIRC leaving the compressor, up in front of the exhaust manifold, then across to where the battery was. Back where the airbox was, then across and into the TB with a nice machined adaptor. Also painted black. It would be easy to have somebody redo the charge piping and fit in the Vortec aftercooler setup. I basically designed it for that.
