Well, two days before XTS I decided to change up the intake filter that was on the turbo. I ended up having to take the rad bottle to the plastic surgeon to move the nipple for the hose to the rad. Anyways, here's what it looks like all finished up...
And then today, I did a much needed upgrade for my car (more so my front bumper)...
Don't mind the baseball bat lol. I had to lose the hood prop with the new filter. Redline tuning gas struts should be here sometime this week.
On a side note, had my first attempt at welding today too. Tried doing the flanges that hold on the intercooler. Let's just say it looked like cauliflower haha. Need more practice that's for sure. That's all for now.
Will have better pics at/after scrape by the lake

Yup, that they are.

The coupler that goes from the turbo is a 2.25" to 3" and then 3" piping and filter to finish it off.
And yes, those numbers are "correct". When I did the dyno, we found out afterwards that there was a giant crack in the intake manifold, so theres a nice big boost leak. I know this setup is capable of a lot more, and I plan on getting alot more out of it. Once I get my boost gauge hooked up, I will be able to tell what PSI its even set at, and can adjust accordingly (I dont think its at the 10-11psi that Id like to see). And I also plan on getting a proper tune and get rid of this @!#$ty GM s/c'd flashed one. Also keeping my eye out for an aluminum intake mani off of a Saab 9-3 from the junkyards or a Cobalt SS one to get more air into the engine.
Thanks for all the comments everyone

Nice thanks for the info on the coupler. Looking great man I can't wait to see numbers with a good intake manifold.
