Easiest way for me would be straight up out the hood....

Well learned a lot yesterday and that log isn't gonna work at all. Right now I need to find a place here in CC that can make me a new suction hose for the ac as I need to have the ends bent more and the hose extended to clear the turbo exhaust housing and piping.

 

Went ahead and mounted the Treadstone intercooler. Will see how efficient it is and will go from there... Not much else done but i did get the collector from Ace Stainless in and started building the turbo header. Will try and have the turbo mounted tomorrow.






Got a new welding helmet and love this thing! Auto darkening and adjustable shading.

 

Damn you could wear that thing to comic con

 

lol prob could its basically a paintball mask with a ADF installed, fits really good and works great.

 

Is that the Phase welding helmet? The Mac truck at work has them on board and I was thinking about picking one up to replace my old beat up Miller. Seems like a pretty nice piece for the price. How has it worked for you?

 

Yeah its the Save Phace helmet, fits and works great. Only complaint I have is I wish the ADF lens was mounted more secure as every now and then it pops out. Other then that does everything I need it to do.




Turbo mounted... Better pics to come tomorrow afternoon

 

man i just went thru this whole thread and all i can say is DAM! awesome build cant wait to see more

 

Thanks!


Well just waiting to do the crossover and turbo exit. Intercooler should be back from my buddies Friday and hopefully be firing it up this weekend. Here some pics I took before the wastage was mounted. As you can tell i really only get a chance to work on it after work so progress is a little slow...

 

Does that monster snail even clear the hood?

 

Yeah leaves about a half inch of clearance as it sits right under the part of the hood that raises up. lol CLOSE but fits!
