Its funny, cause we were told by several people it was going to be way harder then we think, and it would take alot longer then we think. several months longer. As far as were concerned we are ahead of schedule, and it hasn't been to hard yet. Our biggest problem so far was ps lines, i dont know how anyone moved them, so i just ripped them out, and will remake with ss braided lines.

Hopefully Ic piping, and dp will be done by end of feb, and march will be spent tying up loose ends, and tunning. I cant wait to get it on the dyno, and drive it, and then break it.(stupid 10 bolt)

Looks good guys

P.s We want Action with PNUTS Junk
I think the ta will need some spots.... Turbo ls1 suck, and never seem to make good power. Plus the welds may slow us down some.

Going with a griffin radiator, with 2 12" pusher fans. It should be here friday, and Im hoping well get around to installing it in 2 weeks. This weekend were hoping to get almost all the IC piping done (cant do all of it because out of the turbo has to be aluminum which we cant weld) and lower intercooler brackets. Im sure well have pics of it all, cause we have pics of EVERYTHING I think I have 400 pics so far.

I bend my ps lines, but I don't like how they look now. What size fittings did you use? I'm probably going the braided stainless route myself.
