Default Custom Remote Mount Turbo System...
Here are a few pics of my 2004 chevrolet truck with a custom remote mount turbo system.

This is the older setup with the 4.8L and 60-1 turbo




This is the intercooler and custom shroud


I will be racking the truck tommorrow and I will get some pics of the new setup with the gt-76 turbo

I've been considering a custom front mount turbo for my 00 silverado. I'd make one similar to this

Just out of curiousity why did you go with a remote mount?
