Great looking build I love it!

Great work doing so much yourself!
I am wondering how your boost control is with that long 90 degree off the crossover for the wastegate? I need to redo mine and it has a short 90, but a smaller gate.

 

I guess we shall see. I did try to oversize my gate to band aid the bad placement. What size gate were you running?

 

Update:

Pulled the pump again, and built me a hotwire kit. Ran 10 gauge with a 30amp fuse, and 30 amp relay. Used some of this for the holes I drilled in the bucket. We will see how it holds up.



Also, built me a vacuum manifold with some leftover brass I had. Doesn't look to pretty, but should work well.


Also, got my 3 bar map in and my 3 bar SD tune uploaded. Did some tuning. Running pretty solid so far. Already ready to crank it up! I'll post some videos once the tune is all dialed in.

 

Interested to see the vids! Where are you going to mount that vacuum block?

 

Snapped a quick pic for you. Its just zip tied there, along with my map. Intend to clean up the wiring and make a nice mount for both, but you get the general idea.

 

Where did you get your three bar map?

 

Bought it used from a member. I really don't know anything about it. It came with a pig tail, that I just spliced in. My truck is all thrown together junk

 

Ok this might sound really dumb but I am new to turbo's and was wondering what the purpose of a vacuum block is?

 

Its just a good source of manifold vacuum if you have a lot of vacuum accessories. You just run the large vacuum port on the back of the intake to the block and then you can hook up your boost controller, boost gauge, ect to it.
