Thumbs up Finally got the truck Turbo'ed and running again!

Well guys I finally got the truck back up and running. Got the trans in and the turbo kit put in last week. Props to Vince, Chuck and Andy at Finish Line Transmission for helping me out and getting me back on the road. Great people to deal with. Thanks to rick over at trick as well. I also wanna thank Precision Industries for helping me out with my torque converter issue, also great people to deal with. Lastly, I wanna thank Allen and all the people at Nelson performance for doing a great job on the install on everything! Truck runs like a scalded dog.
Anyway enough of the jibber jabber, here the pics











4" Duramax Exhaust with 5" Tip



I know I need new tires lol.

More Exhaust pics and gauge pics.

Yes sir sure is. Sold the radix and bought the trick kit. Yea I like it alot better, should have gotten this kit to begin with. I'm running around 8psi or so. Just went to the track earlier tonight and went a best of 13.2 @ 100mph with a 1.8 60 ft. I will take a pic of the time slip when I get home tomorrow, got a keg to kill tonight.
