Clinton and I pulled the gas tank last night. Shipping the bucket to Lonnies today. Should be 2 week turn around time on the pump. Going to drain all the old gas out of the tank and put some new pump gas in it.
Cold side, intercooler, BOV will be here Monday according to the tracking number from Josh at Kentucky Turbo. Clamps, couplers, and fans are being drop shipped. Not sure on the turbo.
I am hoping to have the car tuned and ready to rock by March 20th. Random date, but I think it will be doable aslong as all of the parts get here.
Clinton, Clay, Chris, and I got the hotside bolted on the other night and went on and mounted the Wastegate. Felt pretty good to actually accomplish something productive on it.

All we did this weekend was drop the tank. Crossover has been on the car for a few weeks. Should have some parts this week and plan on working on it this weekend.

Intercooler mounted. We pulled it off to add some 3/8 steel underneath for added support. Attachments:

Decided to buy some new springs/seals/etc. Glad I did. I got a little crazy with the old seals and the ls1 ate some of the seals. I believe this will help the oil consumption problem. Thanks Zach for helping a buddy out when he didn't know what he was doing. Attachments:

Yea. The intake pipe is getting painted. BOV, cold piping, and intercooler all made it last week. Bought a lt1 shroud we are going to paint to put on the car. Lonnies told me the twin pumps should be back by friday. The only thing I need to complete my end of the deal is the turbo, pusher fans, and 2 90 degree couplers.
Still need to buy: Boost gauge AFR gauge 3.54 gears from strange tune

chris anodized the intake pipe today. Came out great. Spoke to Josh today. Precision is back ordered on all pt7675 .96 ar for another 2 weeks. Josh told me he had a pt7675 .81 AR at his shop he would send me. We talked, and he decided that he would ship me the .81 housing pt7675. He also made a deal with me that when I was ready to build a motor, he would swap the .81 AR for the .96AR for free. Plan on getting a few things done friday night and hopefully will be closer to completing this build. Attachments:
