I dont have any good pics. But mine was a hack job. Had to remove the rear battery tray then cut out a small portion of the inner fenderwell i used flex pipe for a crossover then ran it all to a 5" smoke stack behind the cab. Good luck hopefully some one will chime in for a better cleaner way to do it.

All kidding aside, I have a friend that has a turbo SBC in his 84 impalla, he removed the heater box and ran his pipe out that way. One other thing to consider is where and what direction you mount the turbo. If mounted "backwards" of the norm, you could run the pipe down and forward and back under the motor, to the driver side, tie in to the other manifold and out the factory way. One other thing to think about is oval pipe, at least for a couple sections where things get tight. I will hunt up some pics of my freinds impalla...

How you route it depends on what turbo you are using. If you are using a Banks then you can run between the engine and frame. Mine runs between the transfercase and the bottom of the cab. Rember to wrap the pipe with header wrap. This keeps wires and fuel line from being melted. And keeps the passengers feet cool.

I have a 6.5 turbo on mine. You will need to move the #2 battery, I have both of mine on the front platform. The collection pipe from the driver side exhaust connects to the passenger with a cross over pipe run under the transmission and up. The down and out pipe from the turbo runs just aft of that, in between the frame rail and the transmission and transfer case. From the turbo it is like a 2.5-3" round to my 4" exhaust pipe out on passenger side aft of rear tire. As far as pics, go my computer is jacked and wont accept the ad pics button. Hope this helps.
Also I have a NV4500 not the standard Turbo 400.
