Here's my other other hobby when I'm not in the basement:

The first video is boring until around 2:00.

11.5 lbs of boost - check out how much the red flex tube grows:




A little background is that I started with this project nearly 10 years ago with a supercharged 2000 Camaro. I decided to go more power and ordered a new motor for it, then two days after I paid for the motor, someone pulled out in front of me and totalled it. After that, I picked up a 2001 and put the new motor in, and installed a turbo kit in my garage on jack stands. I've had so many little issues with this project, it's not even funny. The most recent being issues from oil draining properly and slipping past the turbo, the header cracking as the turbo is a front mount and hangs off the header just to name a few. With that, it's been giving me lots of issue with Colorado emmissions the past few go arounds.

As of yesterday, all those issues seem to be a thing in the past and the car has legal plates on it again. I still have one exhaust leak to fix on my down pipe as you can see from all the smoke in the last video, but overall, it's running great and I'm happy again. Now some time to enjoy it and get out of the basement for a while.
