Turbotrio Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Matt, Good luck with the truck, Is tank doing his magic on it? Can't wait to see some pictures Tommy is doing most of the work but Tank has been consulting and helping out with it quite a bit as well. It is coming together quite nicely thus far so I will take some pics and if Matt wants to post them he can. Otherwise I am sure many of you will see it out at the track this year Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolrayz Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Is that the 12" long X 7.5" diameter filter K&N filter? It only flows 1700CFM but the next size up is the 18" that flows 2458cfm. Thats the one I want but where the fuck am I going to put an 18" filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the one I want but where the fuck am I going to put an 18" filter I tried 3 of the 18" K&N filters, they kept breaking where the rubber attaches to the filter, it wasnt strong enough to support the filter. I got mad and bought the big ricer filter from autozone an it works great with no decrease in power (Mid 600rwhp through a C4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbotrio Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Here are a few "Finished" pictures of the turbo set-up that Matt asked us to help with. He has quite a bit that he is still doing but just figured this would give you an idea of how everything is set-up: http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/MattS10Turbo.jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/MattS10Turbo%20(1).jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/MattS10Turbo%20(2).jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/MattS10Turbo%20(3).jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/MattS10Turbo%20(4).jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rl Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Are you planning on running high-ish boost all the time (15psi+)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyMan1972 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 He will have a tough time running high boost with no intercooler, unless he runs methanal? Anyway, looks like the income tax return worked out well for Matt I wish you the best with your new setup, hope you click off some good times!
