Default Single turbo build

Just finished this turbo build a couple weeks ago and finally getting time to drive it around. This kit is running a 88mm. I’ve got about 200 miles on it and so far so good. I should be to the dyno in the next week or so.

I built this setup. It’s a hobby of mine. It’s on 4 psi right now, can’t wait to turn it up.

Appreciate it ! Not really any major details. The kit lays about damn near the same as a single c6 kit ive built before. The cold side being the only real difference. Im in Louisiana 71446

It has the drop in rod/piston combo and a turbo cam. I've got the lt4 hpfp/injectors, low side aux kit and meth kit left to install. Just hard pressed for time right now to be able to put hands on it. I also replaced the entire torque tube and built the trans.

I agree there is not enough of us ! I wasn't a fan of the twin kit, I'm sure it performs great just doesn't look very nice to the eye for me.

Looks badass man. Im still waiting to see some pictures of the hotside on that red c6 you had! Looking to build a very similar setup. Was it a log manifold on the passengers side?

Also do you do your own tuning with HP tuners?

Stock manifolds were used on the C7 turbo system?

Keep me posted. Very curious how the hotside was done on that c6 as I would love to have a very similar layout if possible.

I'm S O L on all my build pics and videos over the last year or so. For whatever reason my icloud didn't save anything off the phone... And I sold the red car a few months ago. Ill have to take some pics of the c7 in the air to be able to see it, however you wont be able to the driver manifold where all the magic has to happen for merge and flow to the front.

Cody, is that you? Sold my Evo and I'm picking up a c7 GS here in a few months and pre-shopping for the sauce.
