Not trying to confuse you but just want to be thorough.
mmm good catch. I believe his truck is a regular ole 5.3.

and I'm only looking to run 5-6lbs of boost.I have a 6" lift with 35's and stock gears with a transgo shift kit and billet servos.so I'm not looking to see how fast I can grenade things.the truck will hardly ever see wot unless I'm in the dunes, so hopefully I can get a tune with more power through the band.

I got the correct fuel regulator and fuel pump on the way form Magnacharger.I was talking with the previous owner of the Radix and we had found out that Nelson did not take off everything off the truck during the un-install and/or include it the "box" and told the guy everything was ready for re-sale.So I have to fab up my own intercooler brackets and Im sure I can bend my own stainless line and thread it for the cooler line going from manifold to manifold.Or just cut it in half and measure the length needed and I can TIG up the section.So as far as today the radix is bolted on and the pulley set up is half *** bolted on.....my ambition level was kinda low so not much was achieved other than the parts getting ordered.

I wish you had just ordered the cross over tube, it would have made your life easier.

actaully a brand new non fkd up kit even if more would have been a lot easier. Sometimes buying new is worth more than buying a used kit that you have to add stuff to.

I was just thinking now that he has purchased the parts he needed to complete the kit, I wish he had purchased the cross over tube as well.
