Man what an ordeal! Hope you have better luck with the new motor. I've had the typical hiccups with any turbocharged setup but all in all it's been a lot of fun. I overbuilt from the get-go and went with a trusted tuner, although certainly not cheap. Looking forward to hearing your impressions when you finally go boosted. What trans are you running btw? Any chance you can run better fuel like E85? I made the decision right from the get-go that I wasn't going to f*ck with pump gas, and I didn't want to bother with meth for a DD. I am running a fat/low timing tune with E85 to give myself a serious cushion since it's my daily.
Check your power steering pump brace where it bolts to the block, or your a/c compressor bracket behind the compressor itself.

My transmission is the stock 6 speed. I do have E85 available but it is expensive here and limited. I would not be able to make a trip across the state I don't think and I cant trust my wife to put it in when she drives the truck but it is something to consider. I think meth would be easier for me.

What do you think about starting the truck and letting it idle up to temp. So I can check fluids and so on. Still waiting on black bear for base tune before driving the truck but figure just idling cant do any damage. Want to check with you guys first to make sure.

I do have the 80# injectors in it. My big concern is it still has the tune from O2 dynamics that melted the piston. It did seem to idle ok when he gave it back to me the first time. So I figure it would be ok at idle but I wont risk driving it. Hopefully BBP turn around time is quick I never asked how long it would take to receive the base tune before I ordered.
