Default 00 v6 formula to lq4 turbo swap

Ok i will try and post as many pics as possible. I have a 2000 v6 formula I pulled apart bought a built lq4 from a vendor. That would have been plenty, but decided my wife needed more power lol. Side note this is my wifes weekend car.

Then I started searching for a turbo kit because well why not. Well after a couple months of searching I decided on a rear mount because I was building it for the wife and wanted to keep a/c and also always wanted to learn how to weld. So i bought some stock ls1 manifolds and flanges and built a y pipe after many mess up. Side note it will be coated and wrapped before final install.



ordered intercooler and wastegate



then for the quest of more room read about standing the radiator up. So figured why not lol.



then primered and paint matched
