Default Reg Cab 03 Trick Turbo Build--Pics Inside!
Decided to share a few pics of my 03 build. Still coming together but making progress. As soon as i get some time, I'll be doing head studs, ls9 gaskets, ls7 lifters, cam swap, and more boost.

Looks good.

Those trans lines scare me though.

Looking great. I may have missed it but how many pounds of boost you running? Also, I would recommend doing LS9 head gaskets. LS3 won't really buy you much.

Looks good. Is that pushloc hose on that drain fitting? If so youre not supposed to use hoseclamps on it. It will actually cause the barbed part of the fitting to cut through the hose n cause a big ole mess.

I can take some later today. I took the AC out of my truck since it's a weekend / strip only truck. I mounted the Tru Cool behind the A-frame where the condenser was.
