G37X Twin turbo Kit Questions

Ok not to make a post long and annoying, are any of you guys on the GTM stage 1/2 kit with an AWD.
if so can you link to pics of you manifold whether in a build thread or just attach them to this.

Long story short i purchased a kit from a friend who had his kit on a RWD 37, he bought it from someone who said they had it on an AWD car.
Problem is i called Gamma today (i know everyone hates them) but i can't tel if they are just trying to get me to spend money with them and buy their new v3 manifolds but they are saying that the red/awd kits had different manifolds.
im not sure which ones i have id like to compare mine to someone else. ill attach pics of mine in a few. not that I'm doubting they know what they were talking about but they were trying to sell me a whole **** load of stuff, i don't know if this is just marketing to make a sale or is actually true.

Also with your AWD GTM TT kit is the cold side of your turbo inlet a 2 bolt flange or is it just a regular 2 1/2" or 3" outlet?

He told me that the AWD kits came with the 2 bolt flanges . between i looked at the GTM kit a while ago b4 they went under. they never mentioned any of this.

I attached pics of my manifolds and what they say the AWD driver side mani is supposed to look like, they said passenger is the same.
Can someone with a GTM TT kit on a AWD chime in

so basically i wanna know:

1) Pic of both your manifolds
2) Did you use motor mount inserts or whole new mounts?
3)is your cold side compressor housing 2 bolt flange or just a 3" outlet?

Thanks guys,
i guess i shoulda looked into this rather than 1 day I'm about to install the kit lol

OEM Motormounts - What is the importance of the MM pertaining to this kit?
Use 3"Outlets
And yes the Driver side manifold is different.

I dont know what the importance is im just repeating what Majd from at gamma told me he told me i would need a new driver side manifold, motor mount brackets, custom mounts, and i couldnt use my turbo's i needed the turbos with teh smaller compressor housing with 2 bolt flange on cold side.

What confuses me is i would have assumed passenger side was different seeing as thats the side the transfer case and what not is on. driver side it just looks likefor most part is the same. only thing i could see getting in the way was that steering knuckle and mine just looks liek it woud sit a little further back\








on passenger side is where it looks like i would need a new manifold.
here is my boys setup with the smaller turbos




and another setup ive seen with them








it looks like my turbos would have trouble fitting because of the larger housing..




Warpeace which turbos do you have?
are yours the smaller ones with the 2 bolt compressor housing or with the 3" inlet like mine?

YOu have to bring your car to a reputable shop that can install the KIT man. IT is just that simple. The AWD Kit requires a skilled Technician that knows how to modified piping and make changes as it is not a Bolt on Kit as stated. Your exhaust piping on the drive shaft has to be BEND.
