Not sure on the power level yet, it's running 10lbs. We haven't put it on the dyno yet.

It fits! The coldside is fabbed up in the pics. The coldside is 3" S/S. Gotta love intercooler mockup pics.

DEI carbon fiber header wrap to help cool things down a bit in the engine bay. Also the fabrication of the anaconda size down pipe. The inner fenderwell wasn't installed in the pic, but is later modified to completely hide the downpipe. The Dynomax bullet isn't in the pipe in the pic, but is added later on.

Downpipe wrapped and installed. The blow-off valve and wastegate sensing lines are ran in s/s tubing. The header wrap isn't that shiny, must have been the flash. Cold-side piping painted in wrinkle black paint. If you notice there is a MAF currently installed. This is taken out later on in the build to just use speed density.

Rally wheels. Grille fitment came out good. We only had to take it off about 34 times.Fresh rebuild of the NP208 transfer case. We had to install a 32 spline input shaft to be able to slide it onto the 4L80E, so we did a complete rebuild and cleaned it up. New front spoiler also.

Turbo peeking through the grill. It now has a filter on it. 2012 Mustang seat fitment. My old man and my wiring bud helping out with getting it cranked. Last two are of it's first time pulling out under it's own power.

Maiden voyage to a buddies house with the top off of course. Shortly thereafter the roll cage started to be fabbed.
