I could've but it was gonna be useless. Manifold still needed to drop a 2 full inches or so to align to the head

That sucks about the A/C. I made a custom suction hose for my set up. Turned out really good IMO.

Well'p got just about done today. Just need to do some vacuum plumbing and find a coupler.
I'll upload the rest of the pics today of the cold pipe routing and the rest of the hot side.

Issues:
-The coupler for the colt pipe to the TB is made for the stock 78mm TB's. So if you have an upgraded 92mm like me that coupler is not going to fit... Need to find one of those now.
-V-band from DP needs to be trimmed slightly unless you use a bolt about 1/4" smaller in length from the ones provided.

That's pretty much it other than the compressor lines to fitting.

Hard part of this installation was the simple parts like putting the V-band on the wastegate since you need to push down on it and putting the V-band from the U-pipe to the log manifold... And a bunch of clamps for the cold side.

Also I have a question... Will the truck overheat if I run it without an overflow tank?
