[attachment=452][attachment=451][attachment=448][attachment=449][attachment=450]Thought i'd share some pix of Joe Decaros turbo buildup we have been working on. It's in a 67 El camino with a SBC 350, a Precision PT-88 turbo capable of 1000 HP and will be a carbureted blowthru setup. It will run non intercooled for now with plans later on for a water/air setup. Joe and I made some good progress today getting the hotside all tacked up and figuring the rough layout of things. Nuthin like trying to stuff 10 lbs. of s**t into a 5 lb. sack! The headers are cheapie SS autochromes that i pretty much sawed the hell out of to make them clear the steering linkage.

Looks great Marty!!! I know what you mean on the 10lbs of shit in a 5lb sack with the build on Reids honda!!!! Are you going to route that down between the frame rain and the block and then tape into the existing exhaust? I cant wait to see it.

The 4 inch downpipe will fit along the tranny with lots of room to spare but we are gonna build a whole new system with a Dynatech single 4 inch muffler like my firebird has. I got most of the hotside welded up today and the end result aint too bad. The merger between the two banks was a little tricky to get the fit right and have it look PROfessional but all in all it turned out pretty good.
