My turbo build

[ssms5411]

Good news yesterday, got the results from my MRI on my knee, don’t need surgery. She said there’s a little fluid but should heal up on its own, already ready been over 7 months, gave me another shot before I left. Still hurts when squatting and putting any weight on it. I guess will see. Going to finish tuning the Camaro this weekend and should be done until next year when I get the hood and get the car wrapped or painted.

Installed a 4” alm. 90 degree pipe , I think it looks alot better. Shortened the filter 4”s .

Got the stock tranny pan on. That seal is a pain for the filter. About 3-4”s of more ground clearance. Going to start tuning again, only tuned for 50% throttle right now.

Got the intake for the turbo side done.

[ssms5411]

Installed new front turn signals. Old ones were clouded up.

[ssms5411]

Also got my boost controller mounted and ready to go.

Another with it cleaned up alittle.

Got the scoop on , it will do until next February. Then I’ll get the 2.5” cowl hood.

Going to redo the turbo inlet, some say the tube might collapse under boost. Sent a email to Intense, replied it probably hold, well I’m not risking a $2400 turbo to probably, so ordered 4” exhaust pipping and silicone connectors. Should get them next week.

Finished for now, back is killing me.

[ssms5411]

Got the battery moved, started right up. Need to clean up the wires and stuff then do the air filter and coolant res. hopefully finish tomorrow. Will post pics, back is killing me so just doing that took all day with many breaks in between.

[ssms5411]

I think I’m going to do the battery relocation tomorrow. Also install the new coolant res. and do the air filter from the turbo to fender well.

Got the wastegate dump tube on, took about a inch and a half out of the bend and welded it back up. Dumps out the bottom now which should keep things cooler. No pics, maybe next time I jack it up.
