ZedSled V-II
Hey guys, I'm ruining a perfectly good car... again! ZedSled is going (slightly) under the knife and being modified from the original build goal. ( affordable Pro-touring ) This round we'll go with Forced induction in the form of twin Turbonetics 62mm turbos to wake it up, and we'll follow the weak links down the line from there. The 4L80E will get a refurb, we're going with a full PTFB suspension,Viking shocks, and Willwood brake package fitted with Forgeline wheels and BFG tires. We're doing some neat stuff with the appearance, updating the graphics ( yes, still stickers) and moving from factory retractable seatbelts to a racing harness system for obvious reasons. That's the major bullet points, but I wanted to thank everyone in advance for fielding my upcoming silly questions. I'm happily out of my league with the turbo upgrades, and look forward to the learning curve that's ahead. The build will show up in portions in Car Craft at the discretion of Mr McGann, and I hope to have video support in one form or another soon.
KT.

Updated photo Turbo Routing
Here's a quick pic. No, we're not staying with the Lowes corrugated piping... yes, wastegates and BOV's have been plumbed in since then. The Vintage air Frontrunner is the ONLY reason I can run this setup!!! Beautiful and functional components!! More to come.
