Default ProjectGS#2: NA-T Build in 24 hours.

EDIT: I was originally planning to finish everything in one day. However, I got a little sidetracked after friends came over lol. This might push my NA-T build including all fabrication to a 48 hour time window

Some pictures and progress. I'm calling it this ProjectGS#2 because it's on my Sport Design Graphite Pearl GS.

After all this damn work, I just realized I have to put it all back to stock My state inspection/emissions is due this month lol! Well, it was only about 3-4 hours of work including the fabrication. Should only take about an hour or so to reverse the process back to stock, heh.

On with the pictures...

All stock.


Cooling down the engine.


Some of the parts that are going in.


Unbolted headers and removed all the crap in the area.


Drilled and tapped the AN-10 oil return line.


Manifold bolted on, turbo bolted on, wastegate flange welded on, and also fabricated the downpipe


The downpipe I made in 30 mins

Called it a day, will finish the rest tomorrow.

Actually, I've reconsidered. I'm not going to return the car back to stock to get the car inspected with OEM stuff on there. I'm going to have all the electronics worked out and tuned to be able to pass emissions with the turbo setup in the car

Not sure if anyone here has pulled that off yet

In one day (or two...)... I wouldn't be able to pull it off in one month!

Jeff, remind me of getting you a plane ticket to Europe so that you can turbo my GS300! (to think of it, that might actually be worth it!!)

You need to start piecing together kits. I'm sure a handful of people on CL would buy from you

I definitely would.
