Do NOT buy Ebay turbo hot parts for your Trailblazer SS. They do not fit..

We went with a large intercooler with 600x300x100mm dimensions and 3" inlet/outlet. Had to do some cutting to make it fit, but it does fit.

And looks pretty menacing behind the fascia..

Fuel pump setup keeping the bucket that holds fuel. This Trailblazer SS will stay in fuel under power with a low fuel level in the tank. Something you won't get with a multi pump setup. Hey did you guys know the Trailblazer SS tank does not have baffling inside? It only has the fuel pump module with return dumping into it's own bucket and a one way check valve to keep the pump in fuel while the truck is experiencing inertia. Be it from throttle or brake. Food for thought.

Here is how you can get the most out of a single 450LPH pump..

The crossover pipe and downpipe are made and installed. The Turbo Trailblazer SS is very close to being ready to start.

All the cool cars pull up to the yellow pump..





I was out and about logging data and street tuning this turbo Trailblazer SS today and took a few pictures of this awesome truck..








We still have some tuning work to wrap up but the truck drives nice and we are logging boost levels as high as 10psi.

We are only running it at 12psi for now. We will turn that up later. We are just being nice to the new engine for a few tanks of fuel. Here is the complete turbo TBSS just before delivery back to our customer..
