Default C5 Single Front Mount 91mm Turbo Kit Done [PICS]

Here are some pictures on my now turbo FRC. To my knowledge it is the only bolt in single front mount kit out there to retain all accessories in their factory location. 417 Motorsports built the headers, downpipe, y-pipe, intake elbow, radiator, IC, well everything that needed to be designed and fabricated. The quality of their work is outstanding. Here are a ton of pictures showing how the kit is laid out. The only thing remaining is to make the air canister lines. Pictures don't have some heat shields and air shroud in place.

This kit was designed to keep my street car just that and be over 4 digits with good gas. LME built the motor for this project, they were awesome to deal with. On pump gas it will leave tread all the way through 4th until you lift. Once the turba is spooled things get crazy.

Thanks to everyone that had a hand in this project!

Good to see you got a filter on that turbo, that monster looks like it would eat a small child.

How effective is the intercooler going to be with it layed down? I can not see it getting that much air flow across it. Everything does look nice though.
