Default Started my Sts install today :) (3-31)

Well I started my STS install today well… sorta I pulled my bed then i got my sheeeit laid out now i'm getting a game plan together I plan to get back on the road by next weekend. Unfortunately I’m really busy at work so its going to take me a little longer to do the install but I’m going to spend every free second I have on it. I’m going to try to post lots of pics for whoever is interested.

Here is an over view of the project

List of inc. mods:

Sts turbo kit upgraded to Gt-67
44# injectors
Tail Bov
Sts EBC
Nelson Tune
Walbro 255 intank

Looks like a fun project, and a great truck to do it with..
Keep the pictures coming, and good luck with the install.

Cool

Well the kits on and all i can say is wow.... this whole kit is pretty amazing the fit and finish is second to none.

Ive only took it out around the block a few times but I found one problem. The Wastegate spring that came with the kit which i thought was for 5.5# was gettin me up to like 8-10 PSI @ WOT on my last trip around the block i got a little detonation so i came home and swaped springs now i get a about 4# @ wot i plan to wire in my sts boost controller tonight and so i can get my 6 lbs out of her... other that that I LOVE IT.

I love how the turbo makes my truck feel i can drive around like normal and any time i wanna get on it i have around 100hp pushin me along, and the sound makes it a real head turner.

I'll try to track down a camcorder and get some vids up asap
