SO somebody spent $500.00 and then had to work on it? How much modifying was done to it? Or was it done by the previous owner and you don't know? Your going turbo with it? I was going to see if you went natural induction if/ when you do manifolds to make another set and sell them to me.

As for the turbo, to each their own, I'm going to go normal for the first "season" then go with a supercharger for the rest or life. But that's down the road. I think supercharging is more "tuner" friendly that turbo.

that pic of me holding the ty is when we were loading it on the trailer. We moved it to the garage where we will be doing all of the work. The header stuff was ordered yesterday. We also torn into the front of it to get ready for the turbo hot parts. Ill get a pick of it tomorrow. The updates wont be as fast as the syclone build but they will be steady. Hoping to be driving by the end of February

Last night we cleaned up some wiring that wont be needed. Also temporarily removed some lines that were in the way. Header kit has been ordered, and will be here tomorrow. Once that arrives the exhaust/turbo setup begins.
