It was a tighter fit getting this in the Yukon with the Forklift than you'd think. It would be easy if you took the rear hatch off, but the forklift can't get too close to the truck so it's tough.

Transmission in the back of the Yukon too! It was completely packed to the brim. So full in fact that when opening the rear a few things spilled out.

The Xona turbos can certainly claim the winning position in the beauty contest. FAP covers (flow advancement port), super sexy wastegate actuators, and CNC billet compressor wheels... yeah, it's the FAP you were really thinking of.

Here you can see the inner/outer concentric rings of the exhaust. Wastegate gas is swirled through the outer ring, and gas that passes the turbine is in the inner ring.

Chris @ Unobtainium is really the metal whisperer. His communication is off the charts, all the pictures he sent through the process were phenominal.

Chris was great and sent me photos as they were being built. That's part of the fun of this stuff really. Getting to see your parts take shape.

One of the great things about working with Chris is he communicates so well. Bad news is news, no news means no one is working on your project.
