I was just browsing LS1tech and came across this car: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-modifications/1089024-its-back-95-turbo-trans-am-build-my-winter-work-thread-3.html http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/tylert14/IMG_2106.jpg

Pretty sweet that a 19 year old is doing a turbo build and built everything by himself(motor, trans, fabbed the turbo manifold, etc.)

Kinda pisses me off. I thought I was the only one with that color intake manifold but looks like alot of work went into it and so far appears to be real clean set up.

looks sweet. kinda weird how the intake and block are blue :-?

and do something with the waterpump! paint/polish or something!

I think since the block is painted blue and those wp fittings are blue, he would have to go another color like black or it would just look horrible,

Edit- but you're not really going to see much at all of the wp once the intake is on. My WP is painted and with my intake on you can barely see any of it due to the radiator/fans and intake.

there's a trigger wheel behind the balancer and he's using a stand alone to control LS1 coils

Ya, saw that, nice setup.

Looks nice as hell with the engine bay empty like that....

thats so awesome! so is the trigger wheel custom? or from an ls1?
