Some of you may have known, others maybe not. I was going to turn my last 98 white Trans Am into a single turbo drag car. I started gathering some components and finally realized I was nuts. I parted with all of the parts except for some 
With the help of my friend Casey, we are now going forward with the kit on his car and it is starting to look pretty good, only a few more things to mock up!
Kit features:
Truck manifolds
2.5" Crossover
3" Downpipe
MPT76Q turbo
38mm WG, 50mm BOV
4" FMIC
3" Cold side piping
custom FMIC bracket requiring zero cutting
alternator relocation
So far we have completed:
Hot side bolted up and fitted
Cold side fabbed and completed
Engine yanked for a couple minor changes
To Do:
Change some engine components
Drill pan and oil block for oil feed/return, run lines
Re-Do Wastegate piping to route back into DP
Mate DP to rest of exhaust
Install Pusher fans
Relocate Alternator
Run vacuum lines
Have complete system remade in polished 321 stainless
Notes:
Cold side will be made using 3 pipes to utilize as little silicone couplers as possible. Couplers used will be black on final product, this is just for mock up.
Will have 1 pipe from turbo to intercooler. Will have 1 pipe from FMIC up to just under the fuse box. Then one other pipe from under fuse box up to the TB.
Parts needed yet:
LT1 Radiator Support
Pusher fans
Few engine components
Air Filter
Parts for sale:
TSP 5.3l stage 2.5 Heads complete with dual gold springs (100 miles on all)
Custom Pred Z "El Toro" Cam. 230/230
TSP 7.400 chromoly pushrods
Here are some progress pictures!
