Default The Beginning of the Custom Front Mount GT47-88
The break down Begins:

As some of you know I had a Front mount GT42R. But now im starting a new build with a GT47-88 front mount turbo. Im at my begin stages of getting everything together. There will be alot of new things im doing this time around. By this weekend I should have the drivetrain and engine back in. I posted the header picture on the inside to show the custom quality work we do. The turbo fabricating wont happen for a few weeks. Here are some pictures

Im changing my setup because the GT42r was to small for my 408. Plus now I can try and hit my 1500hp goal O and about me doing this on my back im so use to it after doing my GT42r setup that this is going to be nothing. But this will be my last time doing it with out a lift.
