Default Turbo 02 2500H/D Running, Road testing to start soon.

Ok I have been playing with this on and off now for a little while. And have gotten to a point of post up some pics of this install.
The Truck is an 02 2500H/D single turbo with stock everything. Manifolds, exhaust, electronics,airbox, overflow, etc.
Turbo is a Garrett GT40, TurboSmart 35mm gate, TurboSmart Dual Blow off,(I am going to try to turn it into 1/2 bypass, 1/2 blow off). Air/Air intercooler 3" Thick. I might be able to leave this off later in life, working on an water/meth injection kit. Right now several parts were used to for cheapness while I figure out the bends, and connection points. So no bashing the surface rust, or dirty intake here ok.

No nubmers yet, I have to road test and make sure it will hold up in the real world. Pulling trailers and what nots. Also have to make sure that I do or do not need that intercooler, that add a bunch to the pricing, and I do not think I will need it.

Nice job! Was that a tight fit trying to get that downpipe past the stock manifold?

Everything looks good except for that AC line next to the turbo. That may get a little hot. Keep us updated.

Really was not bad, lossen all the bolts and take all but the front one out. The up pipe slid right into place. The down pipe was pretty easy to install but it is a tight fit.

I'd like to see more pic of the hot side too. Mostly the pass side. Kind of hard to see how you plumed it. Thanks

Ok not the best pic here. the 3/4 hose laying across the hot pipe is the oil drain during start up. It is now plumbed in the valve cover.

3" coming up and 3.5 going back down.
