so i got my turbo kit in from zzp, and wow it has been one hell of a job installing it. this is my first time ever messing with a turbo kit and to be honest with you its really not that hard of an install, even with no instructions lol. alot of it explains itself and once you get past looking at that big pile of parts on your floor and start putting things together it is really simple thanks to zzp. i have basically got everything installed except for the down pipe (waiting on a v-band) and the oil return (waiting on the bung) once this stuff comes in it is straight to a local shop who does aluminum welding then oil pan back on the car. so here is a few pics of everything basically complete besides acouple of things here or there

 

Looks good man! what stage did you go with?

 

if by saying stage you mean what turbo, i went with the s252et

 

Nice job. Hopefully my car will be running a TVS or turbo in the near future.

 

why the small bov?

 

same reason you have your small BOV

 

cant help it, i like taking pics of it

 

i'm kidding lol. we both have 50s. i just got the zzp one and it doesn't have the skinny body

 

lol i know

 

looks weird with the different filter on it too.

you're gonna be happy with it though i guarantee it

 

i hope so, i cant wait to be able to drive this thing

 

Lsj turbo u will have fun Bro.... I've tuned plenty and they are all baddass compared to the.ole m62 lol..... Even a conservative lsj turbo will be fun... Isn't that right Mark
..

 

hahaha, converatiBOOM

 

Lol hahahahahahahahah damn uze wastegate...hahah

 

Nice man im gettin the same kit..As soon as I get all my Moneyzz. Hopefully that will be in Aug.

 

i see you finally stopped worrying and started bolting **** on looks good. Too bad your four hours i could have welded your pan in no time right at my shop

 

look good man! nice to see another LSJ - Turbo

 

well i pulled my oil pan today and i am taking it to get the bunge welded in tomorrow also received my v-band clamp in the mail today from zzp so i put on my down pipe, and dammit theres a 3 inch flange on there. i asked for a 2.5 :/ so my car might be alittle loud on the way to CED lol. So now i guess ill just cough up the money and by a full 3 inch exhaust

thank you sir

 

zzp exhaust, catless, no resonator, sounds ****. do it. its what i'm running

 

i got a catted downpipe, i dont want some crazy loud car

 

its not loud at all.

 

Besides the potential for debree what is that benefit of the intake on the turbo? I ask this cus I have yet to hear anything besides "better hope something doesnt get sucked in there"...

 

Congratz man. Update us with your dyno. How much time did it take you and how much money total?

 

air is much much cooler up behind the headlight with the hole in the fender well bringing air up. compared to right next to a hot manifold and no air flow so it just bakes back there....

 

looks awesome man. you wont believe how much fun turbo lsjs are. i love the balt even more after it been turbo. but advise what with the tranny buil looks good man!
