turbo kit is DONE!!!!, and at the coating shop. there is a chance i will have it by the end of the week but if not then next week for sure.
it is set up with a cutout in place of the cat and has an extra 02 bung in the downpipe for my wideband. the header design is suppose to be better than what he had in the original pic and the intercooler is exactly 1/3 larger than the pic.
having pleanty of fuel means i should be able to put in some good gas, crank the boost on up and see what breaks first
wont be long now

Good thing about the intercooler, the one in the pic looked a little on the small side.
It should be fun testing the next weak link.
Just curious, is this truck a daily driver?

the truck is a daily driver but i do have a backup.
i think the front will be the first to go, then if i push it maybe a piston but i am not going to go too nuts till i have money for a 409

How much modification do you think the kit would take for a truck with a 3 inch body lift? It appears that it should not be a problem accept for where the cooler sits in place of the stock filter location. What do you guys think? Parish KEEP US UPDATED!!!!!

update, my pump moduel is at the post office, i will pick it up tomorrow and post up some pic's. it is a duel walbro 340m set up.
seth told me the header is on the way(to me) i forgot to ask but i think that means the header, turbo, down pipe and exhaust. he also said i would have the rest of the kit by friday, just waiting on the coating for the top pipes.
i should be able to get that pump in there this week and be ready for the kit when it shows. i hope to be spoolin in about 7 days

Had a timing problem that just got fixed about 4 hours ago so it leaves hard now.
My kit will not be offered for sale untill its right. When I say its for sale in kit form it will ship that day. I am not a sponsor of this sight so I can't post that info here.
These engines eat boost like they were born for it. Had a Hemi come up next to me on freeway from a 80 roll on the way home, I think he thought his Hemi stalled!
