Default 2014 Silverado twin turbo build @ New Era Performance!!

Cold side plumbing and intercooler is about done, just got to get the turbos mounted and the exhaust made, and the oil lines ran. If we are lucky, we might be able to have this up and running and ready for testing by the end of next week!

A few pics below.

Thanks! This is the 5.3 engine. I am not sure how much boost to run just yet, probably going to start out around 10 psi and go from there.

Today we got the flanges for the manifolds designed and cnc'd. The groove in the center is for a steel "crush" o-ring which will be use to be sure there are no leaks on the manifold flange, and will provide a very strong reliable seal that can not get blown out.

We also just got the crankcase breather tank built today, utilizing the factory push clip fittings .
