GT35 - I love your determination with your Cruze, you are an inspiration in my eyes and I try my best to follow the standards you set. I've been through many ups and downs with my Cruze and like you , do all the work myself. Keep making the detailed video's please, I depend on them! GT35! Congratulations to whoever is blessed with the GT35 turbo , that will be amazing for sure!

[@cmattdabrat]

That's awesome! Building anything other than stock definitely has it's ups and downs. When I did my V8 El Camino conversion, got the stout engine in, and not long after, blew the trans and open diff all at the same time and was left stranded on the freeway. Didn't stop me from just building the next piece to get it back on the road. Wish I would have filmed more of that build. Lots of fun, but hard work as well.

[@tmorrissey5112]

Watch the video when the turbo feed was leaking all over the parking lot, like the vids man. I just swapped my 2003 WRX engine with a semi built setup and of all things blew a hose this morning, after getting the inter cooler back on I’m putting the BPV on and stripped the threads. Out to autozone and 3 hours and $40 later I now own a tapper set, and am running a bigger boot on one side! Lol. She’s making boost though!!

[@cmattdabrat]

Thank you! You're definitely like me in the sense you're not going to let anything stop you from getting your build going and making boost!

[@802Garage]

The jazz segment was awesome. Your TIG skills are clearly getting pretty solid. Sweet it's back up and running already.

[@cmattdabrat]

LOL, couldn't resist since it looked like a sax. I'm definitely getting more comfortable to the point I didn't even think about showing the welds. They came out really well, strength wise and properly welding the pieces together. Not instagram pretty, but some parts were. I think what'll improve the look of my welds is an actually table and something to hold the piece I'm welding together rather than propping them up with a roll of tape on work on a wood crate lol. Didn't take long!

[@gamespy552]

Seeing all this work being done to your Cruze makes me so envious. I have a UK spec 1.6 and wouldn't have a clue where to start for large-scale modifications like this. I've only changed the rear lights to LEDs and added a boot spoiler and roof spoiler to it. I do plan on getting a CAI and bodykit but all that's a far cry from this work. Keep it up.

[@cmattdabrat]

So how is this a budget build?🤦🏾

[@cmattdabrat]

When you DIY, and do a little at time. It's taken 2 years to get to this point. Don't have more than $6k in it. I'd say it's still a budget build.
