Can you put a turbo on a LS?
“All of the engines are great with a turbo, but the 5.3 and 6.0-liter engines are the most popular. Yes, you can make big power by throwing boost at a stock LS engine, however, if you want the horsepower party to last for a long time you’ll need to make some changes to the engine.
Do turbo cars have exhaust manifolds?
The configuration of the exhaust manifolds used on turbocharged engines can have a significant effect on the performance of the engine. The turbine casing of the turbocharger has a relatively small throat area in its nozzle section in order to generate a high exhaust gas velocity at the entrance of the turbine wheel.
