Here are some pictures of my turbo setup, everything was fabricated and installed by me.

Enjoy!

Nice, looks clean, but them damn gauges look like they are in teh way big time.

Wish i woulda been smart/unfrugle enough to go with Tbolt clamps from the beginning, those HTS couplers are nice i have them too. I bet that dump pipe screams under full boost.

Very clean man

Looks great man! Nice work.


Like Alex said, I think id go banana's on those gauges after a couple days of driving like that lol. I have my boost and my a/f set up on the sides like you do with no gauge in the middle. My sides are a little lower than yours so I can still see all of the dash.

Thanks all for the good words!

The picture makes the gauges look more obtrusive than they really are. I can see all the MPH/RPM/Coolant Temp gauges. The only gauge I cannot see is the fuel, and the way it sucks up gas I don't want to see it, lol.

Alex: The dump is insanely loud, sounds awesome though, I will never get tired of it!

I'm in northeast md, looks like paxaunt river is about 2-2.5 hours away.

I average so far 15 mpg.

I have thought about recirculating it, but for now I want to enjoy the obnoxiousness of it (is that a word?)!

looks nice! Are those painted charge pipes or did you just polish up the aluminum?

Thanks!

Bar and plate core is 22x9x3.25". I kind of have it hidden under the bumper. Not extremely efficient, but only way to get it more exposed is to get a genius bumper or something.

Eh, I never polished any of the aluminum charge pipes, I might if I get bored one day. No paint either. The 4" intake pipe was polished when I purchased it. smile.gif
