Some progress!! Truck was for sale but not anymore. Not having the title for it was a major problem with everyone that was interested. Its understandable.

I sold the tubular header and crossover and started on a flipped manifold turbo design. So far everything is tacked together and ready to get tig welded. I went with a full 3" crossover and 4" dP all the way to the rear of the tire.
