Made some progress today! Fitted single walbro 450 in fuel bucket and installed it and tested my fuel system for leaks. Wrapped my turbo log...and started on my 15inch conversion in the rear, just waiting about my new tires to show up and it should be done! Also prepped the trans to be installed!

the 15" conversion requires removal of e-brake right? what did you do with it? did you remove the line all the way up to the pedal and remove the pedal assembly?

Yeah it doesn't allow you to utilize the ebrake anymore so I removed it all the way up to pedal and left the pedal!

Not really much to show... been working on a lot of small things mounting brackets and fine fitting the kit and slowly piecing it together for the last time. Got tries mounted and started would on my transmission cooler location and mounting/making lines for it. Getting pretty close to firing the truck up...

Made a lot of progress over the last week or two... turbo kit is installed and finished! Just waiting on meth tank from trick performance and it'll be off to get tuned! I'll up load some more pics few pictures of other things I did tomorrow! Overall very happy with how clean it turned out! Fired it up earlier today for few seconds to make sure everything checks out before tuner comes over!
