If you decide to sell intercoolers, id be interested in a similar one. I was looking at the Treadstone trst9 that has the top exit. I like yours alot more. Interested to see how you route things.

If we were to sell this intercooler, it would be in the 1300 dollar range. Not cheap by any means and certainly more than a Treadstone. The core for this intercooler costs more than the entire Treadstone intercooler costs.

More progress!

















We're going to have to move the radiator mounting tabs so that the radiator sits further down and back just a little bit. The turbo was going to sit in the middle of the engine bay, but with the EWP and how far it protrudes from the engine I don't think it's going to fit. I've scrapped the dual down pipe deal for now. I'm even contemplating sending the 5" down pipe out the hood.

Here are some good pictures of how far Matt has progressed with his welding











I can't wait for him to start laying down some rainbows on my turbo kit and finishing up the front end and the new chromoly tubing.

I honestly can't remember what I paid for it. I've tried to forget the amount of money I've spent on this car...

No mid plate this time around.

Updates! Playing with turbo location.

have you considered putting the turbo on the passenger side of the engine facing forward so the down pipe has a straight/clear path beside the block. That is what I want to do with mine, but I have yet to see anyone set it up like that.
