I got the up pipes off of ebay & the manifolds from Tony Burkhard All Season Diesel Performance. Might give him a call and see if he has another set. His info is in the Vendor section.

kodiak up-pipes and manifolds are bigger/higher flowing.

No, they will not work with a single turbo; twins only. They are too big to allow a [single turbo] downpipe to it.

I don't doubt it can be done but it would take some creativity to get a workable downpipe.

x2.

OK I should have been more specific...of course it can be made to work...anything can be made/modified/built to work... :) ;)

But for all the guys with a stock turbo or aftermarket turbos who arent into building totally custom one-off downpipes and stuff, but want a simple/cheap/bolt-on set of higher flowing manifolds, they wont work...

The manifolds & up-pipes are not bigger, however they are not pinched down like the stockers. Jordan I'll take some pictures of the up pipes in the truck tonight when I get home for you. Something else, you will have relieve the cab by the throttle pedal the drivers manifold hits the cab there.

What did you do with the dipstick tube on the passenger's side?

I left both in the stock location. The engine oil stick is tight against the manifold but it fit & the stick pulls out just fine. Transmission stick is fine clears with no problems.

I'm really surprised it worked for you. I had Kodiak manifolds on my built motor, but I modified my dipstick because it was so tight. I didn't think it would work. How much did it crush the dipstick tube?

You can run the driver side with the stock turbo. I did with my lbz. I got the whole set cheaper than just a bd manifold. You do have to do a little modification to the fire wall but only takes about 20 minutes to do it.

does running just the driver side perform better than the bd manifold? id probably run both with a new down pipe though. still would be nice to know
