  1. Glad to see that you would rather have the satisfaction of building your own then buying. I bought a kit, and had to modify everything or fix things to be at my standard. I then sold it because I wanted to do my own too. If you need any help along the way let me know. I'm in north central Ohio and have all the fab things needed to finish it off.

    Thanks for the offer.

     

    I actually work for a very well know diesel fab shop that specializes in Duramax & cummins turbo builds. I'm building the kit at the shop. I do all the installs on the truck and decided to finally try and fab my own kit.

  2. I'm running 1 3/4" pipes into a 2 1/2 collector. The bottom collector is going to be v banded and fed from the other side. I ran out of piping to build the driver manifold. I'll get some this week and build the other manifold next weekend.

     

    The turbo on the truck is just a mock up turbo. I'm going to be running around a 78-80mm turbo.

  3. About a month ago I picked up an 03 SSS. Truck had a magnacharger on it when I got it. I drove it for about a week before I ripped the supercharger off and sold it. For the last 3 weeks I've been slowly gathering parts to start my turbo build.

     

    I finally got started on it yesterday. I wasn't a fan of the turbo kits out there for the trucks so decided to build mine from scratch including headers and all.

     

    I got the passenger manifold built, started running some piping and mounting the intercooler.

     

    I will also add yesterday was the first time I actually tig welded and or built my first manifold. I know it's not perfect but how many people can say they built there own kit from scratch.

  4. Welcome to the site, let the biding begin on the S/C, haha

     

    TBH I have no clue what to even ask for it. I'm Just hoping whatever I sell it for is enough to pay for the turbo build.

     

    Welcome to the site. Post up some pics

    I posted one pic in my first post. I'll get some more pictures of it later. It used to be a members on here.

  5. Hello everyone. My names ken and I'm from mi. Just picked up an SSS today. It's an 04 awd SSS with a manga charger @ 5 psi, long tubes, corsa exhaust & built trans. I just sold my twin turbo Dmax and decided to get back in the ls game after almost 5 years. My first ls build was an ls2 in a 95 formula. Never got to completely finish the car before I sold it. So I guess I'm picking up where I left off.

     

    I'm not a big SC fan but I got a good deal on the truck. I plan on removing the SC and building a single turbo kit.
