A little bit about my vehicle...
Since last September I decided I would be the first (that I know of) to turbo charge my 2004 GMC envoy 4200 4.2 i6. I based my layout off of the Toyota Supra 2jz inline 6 and learned a great amount of things while doing this build. I finally got it up and running Saturday.
