Anyone mount a turbo in the bed yet? I've been tossing around the idea of building a 1st gen S10 with a turbo in the bed. Just trying to figure out any potential downsides besides getting rained on.

Welp...
I'm going to have a hole in my hood

I haven't clocked the compressor discharge yet, I'll finish the hot side before I worry too much about that.

Anyone know what the torque spec is for the clamp on the compressor to turbo body V-band?

Thank you

Jason

The hot side is all cut and tacked, I just need to finish weld everything. I do need to add a waste gate but that won't be a big deal.
It's winter, time to start the cold side.

Hole in the hood FTW only way to go with LS-S10s.

The hard part of the hot side is done. I still need to figure out if the exhaust is going to exit the hood or the fender.

Starting the cold side. The intercooler is a Treadstone 25" X 9" single in on the passenger side and single out as you can see.

Progress is slow and steady
