lets see your turbos
Thanks man i appreciate it! Lots of hard work but it payed off. We are actually pulling the engine back out tonight to build it. Looking to run in the 5's in the 1/8th next season to be competitive.

If you don't mind me asking how much HP and what you run before you took the engine out? Also what was done to the Lq9?
Pardon the ugly welding, but here is the driver's side (short radius turns for clearing the steering shaft.)
And the passenger side:
4" Downpipe:
Yes, it's an S400, 75mm, T4 converted by Forced Inductions.
Power goals.......well right now, I just want it to run.....it's been a 3 year project due to having a kid, getting married, starting a business, etc. However, I'd like 450hp to start, as my V6 was 307hp/455tq last time I had it dyno'ed. Really anything over that would be fine for now.

PPI Typhoon, Is that your A/C compressor that's mounted high up near the turbo?
Is there another thread to your build? The hot parts aren't ideal but they will work! Very interested to see how it all turns out. Congrats on a cool build! I miss my Ty!

I know they're not the best, but for my first stab at making a turbo manifold setup, I think it'll get the job done to get the truck running. At that point, I'm quite sure I'll be redesigning the hot parts to reposition the turbo slightly higher and about 3/4" closer to the motor. I wasn't about ready to tackle some crazy headers on my first go.
I've pretty much chronicled the whole build since 2007. There were a lot of gaps due to RealLife™, but I have the costs involved, why I purchased things, etc. When I had started, there weren't hardly any SyTy LSx swaps running, but since, there has been a few emerging here and there.
Here is my build thread:
