Formula Turbo Build

[Formula_LS1]

Got tired of the NA stuff and decided to try something different. Build is moving fast and is looking like it should be done within the next few weeks. Setup is a junkyard 5.3 with Straightline / Turbo Joe manifold kit and the car will be on E85. Oh, and I will be getting the hood painted. A little teaser...

Cant wait to see what you do with it. Car was awesome on the old setup, gonna be disgusting on this I'm sure.

Should leave the hood unpainted. Its kind of your thing now.

Quick update...downpipe/exhaust is all done. Went with a single exit. Turned out pretty sweet...





Should be going on the dyno within the next week.

Love the fact it's got a single exhaust tip. 0 fucks given. Is it 4" straight back?

Nice, Joe just left my house to finish up my downpipe. His welds are pretty damn awesome.

Nice! Did you end up doing 4" or 3.5?

Went 4" to the cutout then tapered down to 3" for the magnaflow catback I have. This way I can keep it quiet and unassuming. I also have the same bmr kmember you have but routing it around the drivers side. Really tight but it will work.

 

[Formula_LS1]

Yep my downpipe barely cleared. I think 4" is about the max with that k member
