Hope this can inspire some others. I just started my own hot rod shop this last fall and have been learning a lot. Just bought a Tig welder (MIG welded for years) and practiced a ton. I did a couple small jobs and a budget junkyard turbo Iroc Camaro. Then this guy comes and says, I want the baddest new gen GTO on the road. So...9"IRS, minitubs, ERL 427, 4L80E, twin turbos, roll bar, 1000rwhp, the whole deal. Built the turbo kit from a pile of stainless. Im just finishing it up and it was my first full build for a customer. Dont let anyone tell you you can't do something. Ive learned more in the last year than I thought possible.

And the super budget turbo 5.3 done for 5k including labor.

Get out there in the garage and chop, grind, and weld until something cool turns out!

DJW32, they are Corvette C6 manifolds.
