Hey at least is moving on it's own Ha Ha. I should have it on the road within 4 weeks. It's a 5.3/4l80e combo with a 80mm turbo.

I told my wife let's throw another bucket on her side & call it finished. She wouldn't go for it.

No build thread, if you have any questions ask away. Be aware that we build on a very tight budget, no fancy stuff.

My wife does all of he wiring & tuning but I have a pretty good understanding.
I do the fab. It's on an s10 with a ferd granada rear end.

Nice work on getting her moving under her own power. Nothing like the sound of open headers.

c6 manis upside down, turbo sets on top of engine on pass side, down pipe straight up through hood.

These old trucks have tons of room above the engine, even used the original 5.3 intake & still had plenty of room.

The 4" thick intercooler was tight, just hacked it into place with a plasma.

I don't have any pics yet.
