When I first opened this I was thinking "who in the hell would turbo one of the new bugs with a V8" then I saw that it was the older style, I absolutely love it. Fantastic work.

Now that is cool:

1) It has a LS1 in it.
2) It has a turbo.

Great work!

AH HAHAHA that is so freakin manly. I thought it was gonna be another "what if I was lame and blah blah blah..." posts, so glad to see something legit for once! Way to go, that thing will freakin SCREAM when you get everything sorted out. Get those injectors replaced and get that duty cycle down. I agree with you, those things behing tapped at 90% isn't a good thing. Grats on getting it going!
