I am sure this will look just as pimp as the twins in the rear did.

The turbo-Zone kit was gonna be a short term deal till I had time to put this one together. Once I found out a few more modifications were needed to mount the TZ kit than I planned on, I decided not to "mod twice" and just move forward with this one when time allowed. Superman has a portion of the old turbo-zone kit I had.
It's one of the only pictures I have at the moment as were in the process of moving around the radiator etc. The biggest pain in the *** it to keep the hood latch, as I didnt really want to add hood pins... with the Rad moved up, theres little room for the cold pipe from the IC. Watch for the creativity. I mostly like to dispell the myth it takes 6 months or a year to build a kit.
If you look close you can see the end tank of the rqadiator is open as were re-locating the fill hole.

Thanks guyz..
Actually, thats just the way it looks, its WIDE open... I could fit a 10"+ long Air cleaner on if I decide not to put the battery back in that location.I will update once Synapse (welder) has made more progress.

Kit looks nice Jammer. You do some good fab work. Im curious on the intercoolers as well, like procharger/incon set up?
Offtopic: wondering if you've had any luck finding that alternator bracket, LMK.
Looks great!

The IC's, I would hope, will be much better than the manfuctured kit dual units...which I am not that familiar with..but understand dont perform too well. They are garrett cores... they are being worked on now. It may be less than ideal... but ideal doesnt fit in the F-body without comprimises. I wanted to keep my stock hood latch, and wanted to be unique and well functioning at the same time. I'll post more pics later tonight probably.
Superman, no luck with finding a bracket... and to make things worse.. we tried to fit my alternator today and found out I need one too afterall... so we are each in need at this point.

whoops...
Special care was taken to be sure the exhaust "angles" and can smoothly flow to the wastegate.
The Cold pipe that leads to the TB is a pair of 2.5" pipes, meeting at a 4" connector for the TB via silicone. I dont love the transition, so that connector portion is being re-done.
The other pic was a while back , view from under.
Special thanks to Synapse.
