Default WoW! First turbo kit I ever built...

Had a guy message me about building a 4" down pipe for a S480 for his KB racing turbo kit. I told him no problem, just send me the manifold and crossover and I'd match everything up. Had no idea, this was going to be the very first turbo kit I ever built for my own personal truck back in 2007!! Just in case people don't think aluminzed coated tubing will last, other then some mild surface rusting, this stuff still looks great!! As far as I know, it's been in service its whole life too.

Collectors item! How many hands has it changed from you to the current owner?

Pretty much first shot. The same kits fits the 99-13. My current manifolds still come off the same jig. I didn't build the crossover and down pipe jig till later, but they are still the same to this day.
