Default 72 Lemans with 5.3 and ChinEasy T76

lets see how long this Chinese turbo will last! only at 5psi while I shake it down and make sure everything is G2G...and its borderline scary now! Once I get all problems taken care of (knock on wood cause I haven't found any yet) I will dyno tune it at 10-12psi for daily street driving, and still run the A/C...well I hope.

Did the LS sway about 5 years ago thanks to Clays Customs in Las Vegas. Decided to try my hand at fabing up a turbo kit and with the help of Hood Fabrications (tig welded all the hot and cold piping) also here in LV, this it what I came up with.

Cool project, I like it-be cool to see the dyno results-the 4L60E might not like the power, lol

forgot to mention that i'm upgrading the tranny (thinking about a performabuilt 4l60E stage 3) and beefing up the drive shaft and rear end before it hits the dyno. my goal is to stay between 550-600 rwh and keep it off the track.
