.and am waiting on some parts to be hear so we can pot it on the car and see what is going to make . Chris's car was up and running yesterday. The fuel tank has a leak that we need to fix, it has a bad weld on it, and while warming up the engine yesterday the turbo touched down...

question, but what do you mean by "the turbo touched down"???? Does that mean it shredded a bearing and needs to be replaced/rebuilt? I am assuming that was from lack of oil circulation? Please advise LS1 Tech Stories

i was wondering if that bracket would fit the ofi kit to keep it away from the downpipe with the problems some guys were having. Glad to see it does! wasnt sure if it would clear the headers.

Nice looking set up you have there. Bummer you had problems with the turbo, hope you get it back soon. I like the way your exhaust turned out. I was wondering what brand of muffler it was and if the guys at EPP said if it was loud or not?
