Been super busy lately, but the car runs amazing, turbos spools up nearly as fast as the twin setup, and the power feels ridiculous in comparison!

Radiator works fine, 85+ degrees in traffic after hitting boost it never got above 210!

Getting the old wastegate holes patched tomorrow and Car show on Saturday. Should hopefully have videos next week.

For now heres the start up Vid I posted a few days ago for those who missed it and a few pics I got today.

You should go full ricer mod...and cut a hole in the grille and put a cone filter on the turbo inlet...that will be +219 whp...I promise.

Saw this on either LS Nation or LS Mafia on FB. I'm loving it!

You're not serious right? This is much better than an sts rear mount IMHO. At least he is pulling intake from a true source without a ton of piping and elbow restrictions.

Could you post up what mods exactly you had to do to the CX Racing manifolds, cross-over pipe and if you know if the downpipe that comes with the kit fits the V?

Heat wrap every hot pipe and throw a good turbo blanket on there and itll keep a good amount of heat out of the engine bay while helping it spool a little faster. Congrats!

Great looking build!

A "kit" would sell like hotcakes around here especially when you can get some rwhp numbers.
