Yeah it's been running pretty good. On those runs it was a 150. I went out full weight on a really hot humid night didn't turn the truck off or anything. It would have been a better time but considering its a low compression boost built and cammed motor think it's about right. This thing is really gonna shine when I boost it I hope. I would like to see 10s in full street spec but will see.

Alright time to get this turbo system build under way!!!

Well change of plans no more twins just gonna go with a big single.... a really big single lol. Ordered up a PT106 turbo, PT66 waste gate, Treadstone intercooler, and a whole bunch of schedule 40 piping to do my own hot side as I really don't want to leave my truck at a shop for custom fabbing. Anyways here are some pics got some of the parts in today. wastage and other parts will be coming in this week as well.

PT106 G Trim with 1.0 A/R exhaust side.

Treadstone Intercooler

It is rated to 1300 but think it might be small. It came with 3 inch inlet/outlets so cut them off and fitted some 4 inch nipples.

To make room for the turbo I deleted the coolant tank and went the old school way and plumbed in a radiator cap on the top hose and will be installing the overflow can Thursday when it comes in. More pics... Excuse the dirty engine bay everything is gonna get cleaned up and either powder coated black or painted black. Also gonna try out those heat shrink Hose Candy clamps to clean everything up, they look neat and are supposed to work good.
