03 turbo build almost done....

[Cobra8urZ06]

well it's only been a couple months since the part purchasing began and it's about 95% done. it's a gt4202 with a tial exhaust housing, 50mm bov, 44mm w/g and is 100% a custom kit. Just waiting on the coolant reservoir to be fab'd up and install all of the fore goodies and it may live here shortly.

oh wow, thats a heck of a setup! what intercooler are you using btw?

 

[TRBO VNM]

pretty cool man. BTW, you know you could have used a 90 degree coupler off the compressor side of the turbo instead of welding to it. not sure if that will void the warranty or anything, but just for future reference.

noice

 

[Cobra8urZ06]

it's a treadstone intercooler with a ton of room left behind the opening in the bumper, yeah my guy doing the kit (mike@tci) i guess he didn't want it rubbing in that hole with a coupler and possibly coming off.....it works so we'll see how it turns out.

Did you fab up the headers yourself???

 

[Cobra8urZ06]

no it uses stock headers......mike@TCI did all the fabrication.

Here are a couple photos of the cooler in mention... Treadstone TRV25 cooler with a modified endtank ( 90* elbow, on pass side outlet). I've used these before with great results.

ohhh you're sneaky.....i knew you had some better pictures than i did!! now lets see some of the reservoir

 

[TRBO VNM]

dang, just reminded me, I forgot I need to buy a blanket as well. need to put that on the list. lol

 

[Cobra8urZ06]

reservoir is powder coated and it should be running tomorrow, probably some of the best work i've seen from a custom kit yet!

Hey, what size reducer is that on your TB? Did you run 3" to 4.5" reducer? I'm thinking of doing something similar.

Looks sweet!
