that does look familur
i moved that main harness to around the back of the brake booster and it was alot of work. after geting a pair of turbo blankets i am sure you could just use a set of those along with some kind of metal stand off/heat shield to hold the wires above the turbo. i can put my hand right on the blanket any time, it never gets hot.

Looks real good Rick. Probably won't see any volume interest in the 07+ NBS truck / SUV's for another year or 2... until more are on the road. I would definitely finish the kit and jig it. I would also check to see differences in the 99-07 (classic) vintage on the driver side especially with steering shaft location and angle. I believe there are differences in the 2WD / 4WD steering shaft location / angle as well...
I certainly would not get discouraged if folks don't line up now. Whats good is that the hard work will already be done as this body style matures... and if you can get the kit to fit on 99-07 trucks... then all the better.
Good Luck

That kicks ***! Now I'm totally confused though. I wanted to fab up some low mount twins, then Kyle builds his manifold and I'm thinking single S85, then Street Tuna builds a twin low mount kit so I'm thinking low mount twins again, then you come out with this. AHHHH!!!!

07 IC would have dual inlets on the bottom, and one single outlet on the side. It will be a verticle flow core. No pics of IC yet.

Thanks for the kind words, if they did not sell I would not get too discouraged, lol. I still have plenty of single action going on.

Thanks eveyone for the compliments, we try to build stuff that fits the build and customers would like to install and use on their own trucks. The one thing I tried to get around was moving the brake lines, but they had to tweeked over. So I guess thats a small price for a twin set up.

What size waste gates are you using and where are you locating them on the twin set up. I may be interested in seeing if this will work on my 90 RCSB as soon as I get the swap done.
