That's wicked! Especially with today's higher power capabilities with smaller turbos.

Well, I am ready to button the bottom end and exhaust all back up but I need to go pick up (2) M7 studs tomorrow. I just didn't trust those little M6 ones that are on the very bottom of the turbine housings.
Also, STILL waiting on my Aeromotive fuel rails to come in. Should be tomorrow or Monday.
Got these bad boys mounted and balanced today so I won't be spinning at 130MPH anymore.

Soooo nobody in town seems to have any M7 studs so Im just going to drill it bigger and use M8 studs all around the turbine housing. I don't like the idea of that puny M6 stuff anyway. Im am really itching to have it all done before the fuel rails get here.
No new pics today, however, I did get the valve covers back from powder coat today and started brainstorming on where Ill mount the breather can.

Just took off my 1 3/4in headers and 2.5in exhaust and replaced them with 2in primary headers and 3in exhaust, we also made a few changes to the fueling on the car... may still add some decent heads before spring, but this is a good start.
Before after changes...
I know this one is cheesey but what the heck UNCORRECTED numbers!!!

I got a little bit done yesterday and will likely finish tomorrow with the exception of having a breather can.
I got each turbo studded with all M8 studs:
I got the gaskets I made placed on each turbo:
Impacted on and manifolds/turbos/downpipes hung:
I also put the first 2 coats of paint on the chrome wheels that are holding my Mickey Thompsons on

Nice work Chris!!!
I'm imagining the dents in the roof of that truck from the kids crawling on it so they can slam dunk.

Who's Chris?
If I had to do the mini tub again, I'd buy another car that didn't have dynamat in it. Cut 7 of the 10 fingers and took 3 days to remove in just the area where the tubs went in.
I did my cam install in half the time! I guess I'll put the dynamat back in after the roll cage and nitrous bottle bracket(s) intall is done.
