that's a very good analogy Bruce; now with the intercooler and intake plumbing it's more like 15 pounds in a five pound sack........... :faint:

Don't forget about the radiator hoses! ;) Your IC has one in and one out right? That should be a little easier than 2 in & 2 out like you had planned for the Camaro.

Are the A/C lines already fabbed up?

Keep up the pace, you'll make it!

Jody...We are running short on time. You need to round up the usual suspects and have them help fab that 10lbs of stuff.:willy:

well, I started on the intercooler, air inlet, and radiator tubing today. Fabbed up the inlet first. Everything is just tacked as I have a guy who can copy my tacked together pieces and make it a one piece tube.

Then started the intercooler to throttle body. Very tight to get past the air inlet, turbo to intercooler hose, and lower radiator hose, but it clears.

Very nice Jody. That intercooler tubing looks like a tight fit, but its looking great. The Malibu keeps looking better and better. Keep up the good work

finished the intercooler to throttle body tubing (made it 2 piece as you cannot remove it as one piece), both radiator hoses, and the air inlets for both turbos. All that's left is the (2) turbo to intercooler lines, merging into one inlet; this will be the hardest part, so I saved it for last............. :yes:

Once finished I'll take all the individual lines I made and have them copied in stainless or steel as one-piece units, so no weld lines.

Not to be a broken record, but your car and attention to detail is awesome:bow:

thanks Tom. I've said it before, but detailing and neatness doesn't cost anything, just a bit of time and some forethought. Anybody can do it.

Jody

an awsome street monster Jody :wow:
love it man
