The exhaust manifolds are installed and the turbos bolted into position.
The next step is to remove the front bumper cover and locate a position
for the air to air intercooler.
We position a Spearco Intercooler core where it will get optimum airflow.
We decided to fab our own end tanks due to the GTO's unique front bumper
shape.
With the front bumper cover back on, the intercooler is barely noticeable
and looks like it will receive good airflow.
Next, we pull the bumper cover back off and fabricate the charge piping
from the turbos to the intercooler, and then to the intake.
The passenger side compressor discharge piping goes down behind the
headlight. Notice the new ABS module location on the frame rail.
The drivers side compressor discharge pipe goes down along the fender
behind the headlight leaving room for the intercooled charge piping.
From the fender, the drivers side piping then goes along the crossmember
under the car to the passenger side.
From there, the drivers and passenger side discharge pipes join together
in a custom fabbed Y pipe that is then connected to our custom end tanks
at the intercooler.
From the intercooler, 3" piping is routed up through the fender well
behind the headlight.
And then to the mass air flow sensor and on to the throttle body.
The charge piping is competed and ready for coating.
Now we fabricate the passenger side downpipe

Now for the drivers side.

Now that all of the exhaust piping is complete, it is disassembled and
sent to HP Coatings along with the turbo exhaust housings for high temp
thermal coating.
