Thanks for the compliments.

Anyways, after much thought, I decided I'm just going to fab my own kit with manifolds for now. It's been too long that I haven't driven it, and I want to get it on the road already. I don't have the patience, or the money for that matter to do headers like I want right now. Manifolds will work meanwhile I save down the road for the material to fab up some headers.

Waiting on new turbos to get here Meanwhile... welded v-bands on to my manifolds, and started fabbing the intercooler. It's a Treadstone 25x9x3.5" core with their cast end tanks and a endtank I fabbed.

Yes, I know my welds suck. I'm still practicing. I've never TIG welded in my life. U mad? Come at me bro.

Cutting off the ends of the tanks and smoothed them.





Welded the endtanks.



Welded to the core.



Bottom endtank I tacked on just to mock up for now.



Mocked up on my car.



Prepping the manifold to weld the vband on.





That's all for right now, I'm going to try and finish the intercooler this week, then start on the hotside when the turbos get here.

Made some brackets out of some tubing and plate that mount to the frame rails. Just need to finish welding it all up and it's done.

I remember you complaining about the fit up of that intake. Did you ever get those issues resolved? What where the issues and fix?

No fix... as far as what I've heard Holley stopped production on these and are waiting to make new castings. I didn't send it back, I'm just going to run it as is and hope for the best.

Great build man. You gotta get this done. You will love that Tr6060. I had never driven one until I put one in mine. Crazy smooth shifts. Night and day difference.
