"All the extra ****" meaning from the turbo back. The ebay kits down pipe splits into two for clearance i guess! Looks cheap to me. I just want from the turbo forward so to speak.

For the price might as well buy the entire hot side, I know what you mean.

Out of the turbo yes, to a straight, and then a 45* to the pan. Usually I run the turbo drain straight down, but I think it will be fine like that. Gravity should still push it. If I have any smoking I will make it straight and add a 45* fitting out of the turbo.

The drain is only supposed to be up to 15 degrees off center. Good call.

Started on the cold side, the bottom half is done minus the BOV. The top side is just taped for now, tomorrow it will be welded. All O-ring V-band other then the coupler to the TB.

LOL, not yet. Just on my free time I work on it.
I dont want 900 to the wheels, I already have a race car. The Camaro is my street car.

We usually have all fittings in stock black. The line isnt steel braided.

Have all the cold side welded up now, didnt get a chance to do the BOV.


Started running the engine harness, I was extending the coil wires here.

I been noticing a lot of these builds people are not using MAF's or showing them anyway... Is everyone running a different system and converting to MAP or?

Thanks man. Heres a shot of the BOV, and the IAT sensor.





I ordered a muffler and some other things from Vibrant but they are lagging. I need the muffler to show up to finish up the hot side.

Its called "Speed Density" and it how your car keeps running when you unplug the MAF, it runs off the VE tables in the tune, search for it and youll find all you need to know.

Not a fan on the piece around the downpipe. Why not just run the pipe out and slash cut it?
