how exactly does one "move" that fat engine/fusebox harness, without a ton of cutting/splicing? Are there extension/adaptor harnesses made to add length?

I like how your offering a twin setup but as you earlier posted there is really no need for a twin turbo on probly 98% of the trucks here. A single is obviously easier to install and has enough power to support most of these engines and then some with minimul lag.

No doubt it's bad *** looking.I just get alittle scared with the turbo on the driver side from the heat near the main electrical.(had a truck that melted alot of wires there from a turbo). I would think these smaller turbo's take up alot less room though.

Still running NA. Put some new brakes on today. Got my 60lb injectors yesterday.

I'm hoping next weekend to put on the setup,then hopefully the tranny will hold up for the dyno. I can't wait to get this going.Everything else is done and waiting.


Soon

i am running a gts70 right in that location without any problems. i did relocate that main harness but if i were to do it again i would just build a stand off and use a blanket and wrap the down pipe. those blankets are amazing.

I just received my blanket from Jose at Forced Inductions... although I have not had any heat related problems over this HOT *** summer in Arizona after 3000 miles with the turbo kit... I still ordered the blanket, received it promptly from Jose, and will install. I figure if I upgrade housings and/or turbo just transfer the blanket... saves me from coating fee's for the exhaust housing(s).

I just have flash backs from a truck that was brought to us.Nothing was heat wrapped and the harness looked like a melted goo ball. Don't under estimate the heat from turbo's
