Default 91mm t4 finally home




the exhaust housing is carried over from the pt-88
the inlet is 5" so i had to get that ginormous 4-5" elbow
the discharge is 3.5" so had to get a transition coupler to the 3" intercooler pipe.
only real complicated part was radiator fan clearance.
the stock ls1 fans no longer fit BUT i discovered that LT-1 fans are the same only bolted on to the shroud... So I have a new shroud being made at work which places the fans just clear of the new elbow. should have that home and mounted up tomorrow.

Are those coolant lines running to the turbo? I have never seen a turbo that big that is water cooled.

appear to be the heater core hoses, no WP is present in the pictures, so I would bet they are just laying there

i like the use of what appears to be the LT1 intake elbow as your filter connection.

Nice. What was the hold up with getting the turbo back? How long until you have some comparison data?
