House of Boost does it again!! Pics/vid inside

A local performance shop in the Kansas City area built this truck for a customer that said "make it fast". Well a built, low compression 408ci with custom grind cam went in. A built 4L80E went in to handle the power with a high stall converter. Oh yeah then there is the 76 pushing more than 15psi on the brake. Enjoy!:beer:

Specs:Full Forged HOB built 408.
Stock heads for now (But all the valve train goodies)
FLT Built 4L80 with PI Conveter (AWD)
Full HOB Fuel System
T-76GTSH, controlled by eBoost2
Even sporting a Vettes and Performance DP
Brembo Brakes at all 4 corners
Lowered, with huge sways
FBI spec black'ed the F out grill baby
And more rubber contact patch then you can shake a stick at

I am not impressed with seeing a factory air box feeding a 76mm turbo.

Haha, you should see nicD's setup on his 800+rwhp setup.

You look under the hood and its got the lid on there as well looking like it comes strait from the throttle body but goes under where the lid covers.

I cant see these pics here from my work so Im assuming its something similar.

But unless you know what your looking for its hard to tell.

Someone better make a heat shield for the plug wires near the turbine. Trust me on this. The truck will make it just far enough to be a real problem before they burn through.

If he is using it as a "truck", it should be fine. For race usage, of course it would be too small.

Well not just that, but its just not very accurate if its not reading the air that the BOV is releasing... If its got a Maf it should be right before the TB.

And The 76mm is on the small side, uless you are looking for quick spool with not alot of top-end.

But it will max out very easily.
