Default She's ALIVE the Big Bad Turbo monster Cometh !!

Well yesterday I finished all the rest of the little things ,wired the fuel pump boost controller and topped up all the fluids and clean things up and finished the exhaust up
7pm rolls around after starting at 8am Flashed it with a new program from Seth from Combonation
Turned the key and made sure the fuel pressure was there and it was
Turned the key and she fired right up no Problems and Proceeded to idle nice and smooth didn't hunt for idle just perfect
The Exahust is a 3" downpipe off the turbo into a 3"-4" adpator into my 4" main exhaust I have a big diesal muffler there with a turndown in front of the rear axle
This setup sounds freaking awesome nice and deep
We noticed I had a pretty bad leak at the v-band clamp at the turbo
it was a temp replacement that i was hoping was going to work .they forgot to ship me one..
The Cam idles nice being a 232 230 596 591 113las +2degrees ground in
All in all I'm very happy it was long week of install
I had to Deal with some fitment issues and buy a few things to make the kit work
Now I just need that V band Clamp to go for a spin

here are some almost finished pictures

The pump is a CSI race pump pretty hard hardcore unit
I'm not sure of the flow numbers but i think it could empty a pool in 20 mins
When it turns on it moves on the metal mount to the frame

Love it, can't wait to see some time slips and surprised looks from us hemi guys! Also, I like how they used the stock air box location for the intercooler. Awesome engineering and quality there!

Nevermind the Lightnings need to find something fast
Really funny you mention the fords As the shop where i did the install is very near where Ford makes the Lightnings
I see about 10 a day flying by the road where the shop is.I guess they road test em all before they ship out
It's great motivation for me to say the least
Just gotta time it right and i should have my first kill
