If anyone has some pics of under the hood with the ZZP ZFR swap could you please post them, just want to see what it looks like for smog BS.

 

You can't tell. Only if you look closely and if you actually know about turbos. Nobody can tell.

 

is that the stock charge piping?...lol

 

Thanks for the pic, nice to see stock charge piping works, helps with the stock look for smog.

 

Impressive that the stock pipes are fine. Guess mounting the pipe to the block or w/e really worked that GM did after a few blew?

Yep, stock charge pipe.I have the KN intake and the PCV is rerouted back into the intake too.

 

the stock pipes can handle some abuse. in the initial testing of my turbo kit we ran them for street driving and on the dyno. probablly made about 20-30 total runs and about 8000 miles at 15-20psi. made 364whp. the pipe did swell quite a bit but ive never had mine explode like others have. it probablly would of happened sooner or later... the stock couplers theres nothing wrong with at all.

 

^^ x2, the intercooler is the main thing that blows.;

 

I have a brand new Hahn upper charge pipe for sell, just in case you are interested

 

Quite a few pictures of the ZFR here with a side by side comparison of the stock turbo.
