Turbo build nearly done!!
#1
So I took this last weekend and dedicated all my time and energy to the truck. My hopes were to get it all wrapped up and running before the weekend but it looks like I came up a little short.
Things accomplished over the weekend.
Installed heads cam (241's milled .015", and stock 01-02 fbody cam)
Slipped in the FMS 42# injectors and spliced on the proper EV1 connectors
Removed sandblasted and painted EVERYTHING for the engine exhaust and accesories
Turbo is installed with oil feed and return ran
Crossover pipe is built and still needs to be painted
Intercooler is mounted but is not plumed
I think that is it, it doesn't sound like much but that along with installing to body lift/ HD front and new wheels took the entire weekend (I actually slept at the shop on Friday and Saturday night). I still need to build a downpipe along with all the coldside piping, BOV and wastegate. I also need to pull the box to finish the rear portion on the body lift and install the Walbro pump..........and install gauges.........and I think that is it........other than tuning.
I am looking forward to getting this thing on the road and thank all for the advice and parts to get things heading in the right direction. I will add pictures today and hopefully get the opportunity to work on it again to have it fired up and running before the weekend.
.....and some pics. I will add more later!

I am going to take the day on Wednesday to get it finished up. I am still waiting on a couple of silicone couplers that should be here on Thursday. I can't wait to get this thing dialed in. Should be a very fun ride!!!!
