Thanks for the compliments fellas. I'm ready to have it here!!! I wanna touch it

If it wasn't for the deal Brian cut me I wouldn't have been able to swing this motor this soon after dropping $5,700 on a turbo build just a couple months ago.

Once the motors in the truck, turbo kit and motor together ill have close to $9,500 in it since about September, needless to say, I'm DONE under the hood of this truck for a while... Keep in mind, this is the third different setup I've had in this thing

We are sick for spending what most of us do

Not yet, I've decided I'm going to break it in and run/tune it for a couple months with the 70... Then its game on don't know if ill stay with Master Power. They are great budget turbos but I'm looking for options they don't offer. Ill probably end up in a Turbonetics unit.


On a side note, a company that I worked for (that also laid me off last year lol) called me yesterday... So ill probably be going back to work very soon I just hope it all works out.

Congrates on the new job offer.
Your doing all the work alone or you've got some help and a shop to work in?

I've got a couple guys coming out to help, I've got a decent place to work on it at the house. Thanks for the congrats. Being laid off with the economy right now had me nervous.
