Ok i have bought a set of turbo manifolds for my gen 3 turbo conversion. The motor is in, and i started to install the manifolds but i have a power steering pully i think in the way. can some one tell me if i can relocate it, if they have relocated it was it a big job and do you have pics. I have attached pics to show you what im talking about.

Thanks for the help.

Maybe you have to remove it to fit the manifold but can put it back after? You would be best asking on the LS1 forums, more turboed cars over there.

undo the four or so bolts on front of the snail and you can twist it around so the pipe clears the pulley :)

What model car did the turbo kit come from? Does it suit the car your trying to fit too?

with the 25% under drive kit do you replace the power steering pump with a small pulley

no its just the harmonic balancer that you replace... im not even sure if putting a smaller pwr steer pulley would put too much stress on the pump or anything...

EDIT: oh and the belts of course
