If he don't mind asking I wont either, I would like to know also Thanks.

 

looks good man. where you at in jersey?

 

Update

Turned the wrenches all day, finally out of the test fit stages and started on the final install, happy I don't have to pull the flipped manifolds anymore, such a pain.

Got the cold side all figured out but unfortunately the universal kit isnt as universal as the name implies. Couple more hoses needed but its very short routing. Also moved the BOV to the hot side of the intercooler.




Heat wrapped the manifolds


Plug wires made and installed. Probably went overboard with the heat wrap and heat tape but I had it here so better safe then sorry


For those who asked for the parts list, I have it hand written right now and it will most likely be a few days before I type it up but I will get it to those who asked.

Im in Hillsborough, maybe an hour north of Trenton.

 

Spent 11 hours in the garage today. Had a few parts on order and didnt think they were coming in until next week until the mailman came walking up the driveway with his hands full. I think he got scared after seeing me run at him like an over excited dog about to **** himself.

Anyway, everything is done minus the final oil connections for the turbo. Lines are ran just need to drill and tap the block and pan. Also need to hook up the gauges but thats not too bad. Wish I had more pics than the ones below but it was too dark. Expect final pictures and hopefully, if nothing catches on fire, videos tomorrow.

Looks good

 

Its alive! Got some issues but for the most part its all set.

After some easy driving in the neighborhood to take care of the relearn it idles great, cruises around great, no leaks or weird noises, but............

If I push it any harder than 1/4 throttle its falls flat on its face, faceplant is a better word for it. If i ease into the throttle in a lower gear it will pull to maybe 2500 before it stumbles, in 4th gear I can barely put my foot on it before it stumbles. I dont have any gauses hooked up yet, yeah I know, but when it stumbles you can see it cough some smoke out from the tailpipe. I hope its an overfuel issue but before I jump and start pointing fingers at random things I need to get the gauges hooked up. Anyone have any idea of what it could be?

FYI, because of partial throttle drivability issues I had to move my MAF from in front of the throttle body to down by the fans where the flow was more stable due to straight charge piping on either side of the MAF...

 

I saw some people had to do that but what about your WOT? Was that effected? The truck stumbles at 100% as well. Its pretty much anything over 1/4 throttle in every gear, worse in the upper gears.

 

I did not see a loss in power by moving the MAF... only partial throttle drivability improvement. Also, there may be other underlying issues in your tune... not saying it is just the MAF location... only that it could be a contributor to what you are seeing.

 

Gotcha, i'll keep an eye on it if I have some partial throttle issues in the future. Here is an in cab video, rpms stay the same and the power just drops off, again I know there is a ton to be learned from the wideband and obd2 data but just thinking up ideas for now untill i have some time to check it out.
