You're making the lines right and not using the stock ones?

Wiring is pretty much done. Just need to wire up the dual stage boost controller and the toggle switch for it.


Thinking of mounting ideas for the boost controller...

Lol thanks guys! Should be able to start it up tomorrow just got to get the right size belt and figure out all the factory wiring stuff. I do have a small update though...it looks like I might be ditching the ebay kit for a c6/truck manifold setup. A member on here has offered to have me as his guinea pig on a turbo kit that keeps a/c that he may eventually make available to everyone. Is anyone interested in buying my ebay piping?? Ill sell it for 400 shipped it will come with all the piping in the ebay kit its just wrapped pipes and coated headers. Its already been mocked up to make sure it fits also.

With this kit I didnt have to stand the radiator up. I did lose the fans that were on there in favor of pusher fans though.

Almost done guys! Just need the correct size belt. I thought I had blown my water pump seal or the gaskets for the water pump were bad. Turns out it was leaking up by the TB coolant pipe lol! Thats the only real issue Ive had today.
