The turbo kit is a custom design I slapped together in 07. The cage and side pipes and removable shute I just had done at the chassis stop which is a local shop who does complete chassis work for race cars. All my engine build, tune, and most of the labour was done by Wade Stevens @ Redline Performance here in Toronto.

That does look really nice, but I think you're going to be sick of having crap all over the side of your car.

Thats what I'm saying.....It will wreck a paint job within one summer, and will be all over the whole side of the car. It's way different then coming out the back.

Wow that looks sick. I am sure it is loud. Is it just me or does the rear of the vette seem to be a bit high. It just look like there is a lot of room over the rear tires

It was actually fresh of the hoist. You need to drive the car a little before the suspension will settle. I also keep the car a little on the high side for the big 28" tall slicks at the track.
