+1 on the review. I can't remeber how long ive been running mine but I think its close to 2 years now. I have had great success with mine as well. Only small glitch I had was a leaky wastgate gasket after the tranny install, I reused the old one and didn't seal properly. A big goes to rick for providing a great quality kit and customer service!.

Actually still tight


Pieces off the Maggy equipped truck I sucked up my tail pipe on the way to the track must have damaged my engine. Found a piece of blower case stuck in a piston Really the engine was in good shape check out the bearings
