I decided to change the supercharger for a pair of Turbonetics GTK 550 turbo's

The intercooler on top is a custom one off 12 core laminover water to air.

The next job is to fabricate the turbo manifolds, intercooler pipes,Custom aluminium radiator and heat exchanger for the intercooler

End tanks fabricated on the  intercooler. The rest of the pipe work should be done by the end if the week, If I get time!!

One of the cooler pipes fabricated and I dressed the transition at the front of the cooler (only had a few hours spare in the last couple of weeks to work on the car)
