    Feeling like that is true, but gotta press on. I turboed my 95 Beretta and it was wayyy more complicated than this.

    I'm going to try and do the other side tomorrow and order the block off plate from zzp. Wire it up and hopefully be ready for my birthday in March

    Still working. Getting closer and looking more like a car again

    Going to run the boost controller inside the cabin, just sat it there for now

    Had to cut the fog lights out for piping. Probably didn't have to, but it worked

    Fuel rails and the 42's in. Next finish the vacuum and wire up the TB

    Ok, ran into a problem.. With the f-body intake and camaro alternator the standard(l36)
    serpentine belt doesn't fit. Does not fit over the alternator. Also went and picked up a
    belt from a L36 Camaro and is too loose. Any thoughts as to what i can go with? I'm
    pretty close, just this, oil return, and rear mani block off and I can actually start it.

    actually that method is used on the s/c belt when swapping to smaller pulleys.

    Just measure it. If its to loose by how much? Take 6" off and try again. I moved the alt to the ac compressor side, deleted alt bracket and mounted a custom pulley by the dogbone. Walked into advance auto asking for sizes, took 2 tries but I had success.

    After doing some reading, I stumbled on the thread about the CS144 alternator.
    I don't have one, but they had used the Camaro bracket. Think i'm going to try
    the one they used this morning. Soon as the rain stops
