Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

My 04 turbo colorado (build, destroy and rebuild thread)

Started working on a new retrofit for my truck. This will be the 3rd one lol, i get bored and like to change things up.. anyhow, im using mini d2s and mini h1's with apollo 3.0 shrouds, white halo's and red angel (demon) eyes

next step is getting the beams aligned, resealing the lights and getting all the leds wired :D
 


man i feel like you gave up too easily...

what a waste of time and money. if you would have just got it tuned right, there would be no problem, its not like you had to run 10psi anyway. 6 or 7psi in a light ass truck like that would have been pretty quick.

i cant tell you how many problems ive had getting my car running right, but i kept at it and its running almost perfect now.

its very disappointing that you just gave up.
 
Hell yeah, those retros look sick. I did the Apollo 3s as well in the graphite shroud. Damn fx-r's were a pain in the a$$ tho for me.

You have no idea what i went through to try to get it tuned right, go check out 355nation.net and see how many other guys blew up their engines because of a turbo.. these atlas engines are just not made for boost on stock internals.. waste of time? not really, modding my truck is something i enjoy doing... waste of money? no, i got back more than what i put into it when i sold it.. anyways one day it will get an LSX swap.. i haven't given up
 


latest update on the retro.. they are about 90% done, all i need to do is align the beams and put the lenses back on

sweet holden lol jk

I like how the outer square of the headlight bezel reflects the light around it

overall the truck has come along nicely.
 


and a night shot of the mini D2S output.. the H1's aren't hooked up in these pics.. the relay kept sticking, so i disconnected them until i get a new one
