Got some more work done today. Finished up the cold side charge pipe.
All ready for welding
Hole for the MAF sensor
MAF bung welded on
Access to the MAF sensor
Routing to the intercooler
Start of the hot side pipes, lol
The bumper will need a little trimming, but everything fits really well. I will get some finished pictures of the cold side tomorrow after the paint dries. I am going to modify the washer bottle instead of moving it. Tomorrow I am going to finish what I can for the hot side, paint the intake manifold, and start on the exhaust. We will see how a cavalier exhaust fits. Thanks for looking!
steel charge pipes?
looks good, im liking the progress for sure.
Yeah steel for now. Eventually stainless, something I can weld. I got all this tubing at work so yeah for cheap charge pipes.
very nice. love the new DD.

Yeah I will try the BOV, if it doesn't work I will bite the bullett and get a tial, couple people I talked to aren't having any problems with them so we shall see.
Any updates?

Yeah I will have pics tonight, might be able to start it up this weekend! Working on finishing the hot side and down pipe tonight!
Wow love the progress man. I CANT WAIT to get my cobalt... I'm itching to mod it already and its not even in my driveway yet... hahaha.
And I am jealous. I LOVE Silverados of that generation. I know it's a DD but plan on doing anything to it at all?
It runs!!
Still need to finish the hot side pipe, dumptube, and exhaust but pretty much everything else is complete.
Part of the hot side painted
BOV mounted
Intake mani painted and bolted on
Throttle body and spacer mounted
Intake completed
Completed engine bay!! Soooo glad I stuck to keeping the charge pipes under the car!!
I ended up selling the 70lb injectors and I am running 80lb, should give me room to grow. I am also running the ZZP manifold so I could clock the turbo compressor outlet down. I got a base tune loaded in the car and it fired first try, with no exhaust its pretty loud and the wife isn't too happy lol. I checked for oil leaks and didn't find any. Can't wait to hear the exhaust once finished. Should be in driving condition by next weekend.
The only thing I am doing to the truck is a tune for better mpg and towing. Thanks for looking!
very nice.
ps, thank GOD the yellow on the intake manifold is gone!
If it takes forever.... I will die trying. Underdog Racing
Yeah the yellow was really bad haha, Once I get everything cleaned and get it tuned I think everything will come back off so I can powder coat!
Looks great. Get it on a dyno. Im curious how much power its putting down.
Got some more work done the past few days. We got a puppy on sat so I didnt get everything done that I wanted.
I finished up the Hot side charge pipe and got it installed. So all that is needed is exhaust and get the bumper back on.
Start of the down pipe
More progress
Here is the finished downpipe. Its looks really sweet!

This pic is kinda dark but shows the outlet
I should be able to finish up the exhaust this weekend and possibly take it out for a spin. I started it with just the resonator and it sounds pretty mean. Cant wait to finish!!
Thanks for looking!
Ahhh I wanna see this thing running! Looks great.
I like!!
