Re: LS upgrade Turbo placement + intercooler setup

You can check out my build thread for more pictures, but here's some of my setup. No air conditioning (no money right now!) besides the wing windows so I didn't have to fit as much under the hood as you will be. The intercooler bracket was a custom bent piece of aluminum from my friend's trailer repair shop that replaced the original grill brace and leaves a solid 4-5 inches of space between the radiator and IC. I moved the battery under the passenger side of the bed to make room for my turbo and we used stock truck manifolds with Ebay V band connectors welded on and put the crossover in the front to make life simple. So far I have a couple hundred street miles on this combination running 91 octane pump gas and have seen a high of 6.5 PSI of boost so far.

BTW, I love the look of your truck! Nice stance and patina green just gives it a look that is right up my alley.

What size tires and wheels are you running?
