Taping some holes. Ended up buying a t3 flange un-taped as it was half the price. Then noticed the outlet stud diameter was different on the turbo’s exhaust housing, so fixed that up while I was at it.

Re: Vy commodore
Need to figure out if I’m going to use acrylic sheeting or maybe some stainless to modify the mace cai, as the intercooler pipes now runs through there.

Ended up modifying the mace cai with some stainless. Turned out ok. Still plenty of room and clearance for the air filter.

Finally got the other gu on the road. Been working on that lately. New bullbar, winch, spotties, uhf, 3” exhaust and all the rest. Kinda jumping between the 2.

Re: Vy commodore
How much do those big spotties kill airflow to the radiator?

Re: Vy commodore
Probably a fair bit. Honestly there not needed. One of those little 20” light bars is more than enough out in the bushimmortality wrote: Fri Apr 25, 2025 2:34 am How much do those big spotties kill airflow to the radiator?

Re: Vy commodore
I did consider it. But I don’t think it’ll be needed. I’m trying to keep as many oem parts as I can. Then I’ll run sensors everywhere and makes changes to the setup based on the data they returnimmortality wrote: Fri Apr 25, 2025 2:35 amNot considered a reverse plenum putting the TB on the other side of the engine?Wade wrote: Fri Apr 25, 2025 1:42 am Ended up modifying the mace cai with some stainless.

Re: Vy commodore
I’ll need to re think the catch can bracket. I bent it up before the catch can arrived. But definitely needs to be tucked in a bit better than that.
