this was my first ever kit
basically all it is is factory manifolds to the rear, driver crosses over to the passenger and merges together, from there its one larger pipe all the way to the turbine.
did this oh like 5 years ago.



the AC line is bent out of the way, was still working on that, but everything is in the factory spot.

A/C Turbo kit from Huron Speed. The install is super clean and the fit was perfect.

Water cooled (oil-less) Comp turbo CT-43 7879 billet ball bearing.


Pics are somewhat crappy.
