Kbracing, if I buy your kits. Would you have a paper instruction, pictures to help me how to start install and do proper. Also I need to see what exactly you drill on oil line for turbo. If you have picture. It would help alot.

Currently, I do not have instructions written for install. I have been gearing the kit toward the do it your self guys who know a little about turbo charging, just looking for a cheaper alternative, then the other kits. There may be things that require minor modification to the kit to fit individual trucks.

Well, in the case of your truck, the intercooler and cold side. The intercooler mounts to the radiator support which is part of the body so it is going to be higher then what the kit was built for. There is no way I can know for sure how everything will fit on your truck. I would think you could make things fit with some tubing trimming and a little adjustment in the couplers.

You guys need to understand, I'm trying to keep the cost of this kit low for YOU.
If you want a kit that is going to have detailed instructions, a perfect fit on every model and configuration of truck that I would have to find more models to do mock-ups, and have slightly different parts for different trucks and all that is going to cost more. I can't do it cheap and do everything for a perfect fit on everything. This is a general fit kit and might need a little fitting and tweeking to install on your truck.

The only thing I had interference with was the lower radiator hose. And that is because I put a 34in radiator in my truck vs the stocker. The piping from the intercooler is very close to the swaybar since his trucks swaybar is placed differently being 4wd but I made it work... With no cutting or moving existing parts... I believe this kit would fit 100% perfectly on a stock height 4wd with stock radiator... Mines a lowered 2wd with bigger radiator... I expected a couple small changes honestly but it was nothing that couldn't be overcome with a little "tweaking" just like Kyle has said....
As far as power... I'd say an easy 100hp so far and that's on my tuning that leaves a lot to be desired to say the least... I jumped off in this to learn, and learn I have
Guys please understand that this kit is VERY well built and engineered. Kyles DIY approach to this made it more fun for me honestly. It you want a bolt on and go kit this one probably isn't for you... Call some else, and be expected to pay for that small amount of convenience... A lot more than it was worth to me...
I have zero regrets going with Kyles kit...

Thanks for taking the time to post all this Ben, and I'm glad you are happy with the kit!
I do my best to provide what I think people want and I have no problem answering questions or posting pics of what anyone wants, just trying to make the masses happy.

The pleasure is all mine Kyle... I just can't wait to get off work at 6am and drive it home in that good morning air
I just think people should realize what this kit is intended for and exactly what to expect. I don't want someone to buy from you and then be pissed if somethings not perfect for their individual truck... As you said, its "general fit" it will "generally fit" just about everything... But a little minor work may be required by the installer. That's about as honestly as it can be put.
