i thought it was going to be a pain to do it but honestly i cant see where all the horror stories came from cuz it was a very quick and easy upgrade in my book.

Re: New IROC Boost
Those are really nice looking setups, good luck selling them I'm sure there is a market for those who are non so mechanically inclined. I'd buy one for sure if I was on a bit bigger budget. If you do end up putting a package together and have a final price I may still be interested, depends on what my budget looks like when I'm ready to buy

Re: New IROC Boost
Finally got a little bit off an update.
Got the intake back from powder coating and my TB came in a week or so ago.
Wiring is getting there also.
Interior is completly out of the car to clean up wiring there and to install the jungle gym.
Going to be busting *** to get it all together.

Re: New IROC Boost
Nice looking engine bay! Intake looks Bada$$!! I am sure that interior will look real good with that 4th gen dash. i am currently having someone restore my 4th gen dash before i do the swap. I am sure that is a tough swap. What type of tubing are you going to use on your engine bay? Stainless or aluminum? You are probably going to have like 5" downpipe on that making a 1000hp?

Re: New IROC Boost
Since my DD benz got wrecked figured I'd replace it with something to tow my blue paperweight around with.

Re: New IROC Boost
Tubular K-member is finally in. Should have the motor to follow soon. Now debating on if I should go with drop spindles or not. Wiring harness is with BC to finish getting the Mil-Spec treatment.
Sorry for the crappy pics, my phone is on its last leg I think.

Isn't the saying two is better than one?
Header wrap has to change though.

Re: New IROC Boost
Oh ****, whats this? Progress? Yes, yes it is. Hot side is all in. Figured out the downpipes and they are in. Gotta bolt the turbo's in and finish up the cold side. Get some tabs to mount the radiator and intercooler good and sturdy. Now just got some suspension pieces to come in that I overnight parts from MERICA!!!! 4L80 should be back from getting built soon and have been gathering parts at the shop for the next motor which might just have 6 bolts per cylinder and some heads that might have TFS on them...
Those twin 6766 BB turbos should make some noise.
Now debating on going manual steering and switching from vaccum brakes to hydroboost.
