Thanks for the compliments guys, I'm to the point of the build where just the small things are nickel and diming the hell out of me. Working on finishing up the turbo stuff and then the small misc things under the hood, then will be starting to wire up everything which will take me a good few days...
boosteds10- i got the intercooler off ebay, its a CXRacing brand one, i think it ran me around $175ish...
Got some more small stuff done today, dash is cut and ready to be bent and mouted, wrapped the chargepipe that goes through the cab and into the engine bay. ran some oil lines and a few other small misc things. Its unreal how long all the little bs things take and how frustrating some of it can be lol... Can't wait til its all done, getting sick of working on it lol.

cxracing brand intercoolers are awesome coolers for the price! We have never had a problem with any of them we have used, Also great build man, Love how your being different I actually put a turbo in the trunk of my 02 35th anniversary convert z28, Now im building a 6.0 front mount on it. Awesome build though. Keep it up

Its getting real close. Just finishing up all the odds and ends, need an altenator and serp belt, need to wire the whole truck, swap gears, and get a driveshaft. then she should be good to go. I'll get some updated pictures this weekend...

Here is some update pics of the turbo setup, interior and engine bay...
On the turbo stuff i still need to make a solid mount for the turbo and finish the last bit of my downpipe. On the charge pipe i need to get an IAT bung and then have a buddy weld the bung and BOV flange on then that is all done finally...
Interior- need to install and wire my gauges, paint door panels, paint dash, and paint floor boards. Then finish notching the last bar on my cage and get a back window.
Engine bay- finish rad hoses once my JTR tee comes in for my steam vent, get a serp belt, and a new altenator. then install the engine harness...
only other things left is a driveshaft, install my loop and a few brake lines then i need fluid everywhere..
Onto the pics-
