A pic of the swap before the turbo build
Whats going on now




Just a little size comparison
Thanks for looking.
So know one makes a 3 gauge pillar pod for the 2003 s10 interior being the headliner and a and b pillars are different than the 98-02 trucks. So I cut up a glowshift 98-02 3 gauge pillar pod and starting cutting it up to mold it into the factory 2003 a pillar.






Some more hotside parts arrived tonight as well hoping to get the turbo sitting on the manifold this weekend.
Thanks for looking!

Silky pajama bottoms :fuckyeah:
Do you know what your truck runs N/A? I have almost the same setup, except with a 60E currently and LS6 intake. On crappy tires 2.0 60', mine ran the best of a 13.10. Curious what your fuel plans are?
Intercooler mounts gonna be perfect, this intercooler is some stage 2 intercoooler out of a subaru.
Mock up air filter, its a little tight haha
tacked up and the turbo sitting on the manifold fits so perfect.
hood clearance
Could I get a mod to move this to the forced induction section please.
Hard to see in this pic, but you get the idea.

Nice build
Prostreet I pieced the kit together I order the flange off of ebay from modern automotive performance and the other metal from ace race parts on line the log is schedule 10 stainless 2" the 90s are long radius schedule 10 1.5".
Waiting on the rest of my metal from ace race parts for the hot side. Then I will get assembling the cold sided then pull the motor to change the oil pan and drill and tap for the oil drain back.
