This is what it looked like when I bought it.


Started changing it by painting the bumpers, grill, and wheel trim. Used oil based tractor paint. Bumpers only temporary until I get steel ones.





Plasti Dip the caps


Painted the side moldings and a side exhaust outlet


Now started the stack build









Ignition was giving me a problem cause the gear inside the lock housing was shredded so I had to replace it.



Engine goodies install.






The intake heater removed


Boost gauge is 5psi off cause its measuring intake boost and not what the actual turbo is pushing out.


CTS2 arrives




hood and grill swap



exhaust goodies





Painted the grill


downpipe install

Up graded my steering stabilizer, bump stops, EGT probe, and what left of my 4" exhaust. Stack sounds alot meaner now.

A guy at my work built one similar to this a few years back. I thought maybe he had a large camper, boat or motorcycle trailer to pull. No, he didn't. Once, I did see a spade shovel in the bed though.

Remade the stack into a 10" and put LED flood lights in the rear bumper.




This also happens when I launch on my 100hp tune.

So what happened? The engine blow? Did the bed catch fire? I thought that was a trashcan in the bed, now I am unclear. Is that your exhaust system?

LOL, I blow black smoke like a freight train. Yes, the trashcan is called stack. Exhaust air comes out of it due to science things. Much loud and turbo sounds. Extra fast now. +5hp
