Well, I sold the procharger setup and decided to go twin turbo. This hobby is goung to kill me. I decided to run camaro ls3 manifolds flipped. Mostly for durability but also to save myself some fab time. Changed to turbo cam, comp short travel lifters and also went with the trunion upgrade for the rockers.

I will also be running traction control through the aem infinity. Hoping that the milder manners of a turbo setup will make it a little more subtle than the procharger setup.



Out with the old



In with the new

Painted the fast intake



Made a glove compartment for the computer


Now to some precision turbo 6266 goodness and new wegner front drive




Flange to the camaro ls3 manifolds



Some of the hot side

looking good. With some powder coating, the manifolds will look good. You could spend some time smoothing out the casting, too. I bet that would help a lot in the looks department if you care. How are you planning to support the turbos?

My plans is to coat them after it's tuned. Not sure if I'll smooth out the casting though.

I'm planning on supporting the turbo on the fender braces with pencil brackets.

Awesome. Our turbo placement is very similar. Nice car and love the glovebox compartment. Still figuring that out.
