Is the turbo stuff finished up or do you just have the hot side done?

This should be pretty sweet when all said and done!

I got the exhaust flanges in today and will finish the hot side this weekend. I'll send it out for coating once I head overseas. I'm just trying to get it started and running before I go at the end of October. I have to weld in the BOV and wastegate stuff, but I have all the stuff for that.

I'm searching for a shop in NC or SC to punch some louvers in the hood to help with the underhood temps ( and cause louvers look bad ***!)

I'm back over in the 'stan, but I did make alot of progress before I left. I had to pull the engine and trans back out so I swapped my GMPP "hot rod" pan on it. I added the finned valve covers and put the coils down below the headers. I got my computer back with a base tune on it and got it fired before I had to go! I purchased HPTuners, so I'll get it lined out once I'm home again.

I had my hood punched by McNeil's body shop in Monroe,NC and they did an awesome job! I'm working on getting some updated pics posted...thanks for all the kind words guys, I really appreciate it!
