Default Turbo LS C4

Thought I would share a few pix. My DD is getting a lil more HP on a budget. Going in a 91 C4. Doing a lil mock up before it goes in.

That isnt the same car that the motor is mocked up in up top? Cause that one looks like it has some door damage on the right side. Looks good so far. Nice build.
