And the start of the build!

Electric fan conversion as well! Need to make room!

Working on the headers, moved the abs module and the power steering tank over to make room.

cut the old bracket up and bam, new mounting point.

Trickflow valve covers added some AN connectors for the overflow tank.

and BAM! intake almost done!

Thats where the turbo will be placed, also moved the AC dryer over to make room for the downpipe. Need to make custom AC lines after downpipe is finished.

Passenger side header started!

Me cutting the header pipes. (doing some work lol)

Be sure to get the grumpy dude out of the engine bay before taking it to the track. Will def effect performance.

Great build.

Its a flex pipe, keeps the welds from cracking when the engine torques to one side.
