i don't think the d1 had it in it to hit 9's not with out some spray to help anyway and i had a f1r at one point but i realized that there was going to be way more to it then to just bolt the f1r on and go to the track . the stock shitty procharger brackets flex way to much to try and push that kind of power and i didnt want the head ache of going cog drive and or getting custom brackets made. i loved the procharger but to get to where i wanted to be with it , it would of taken allot of time and effort to dial it in as im sure your well aware of. plus like i said i was really losing interest in the truck . this turbo stuff is all new to me and is exciting to learn and work on something new.

well to start off im going to just flip the stock manifolds and im going to do all of the hot pipes myself . eventually im going to replace the stock manifolds with something custom so im not really buying a turbo kit from anybody .frank from revolution raceworks in vegas there was interested in building me some custom headers i believe but will see what happens, i would really like to build everything myself just to get the hands on experience .

Yea, not cheap, and not easy to fit... especially if you keep the ac. I necked mine down to 4" to use a muffler after the cutout. I recommend keeping the o2 sensors.

I would keep the 02 sensors in the manifolds where they come stock. And then weld in an 02 bung in the downpipe for the wideband.

well it looks like there are 4 sensors all together stock, one b4 each cat and one after each cat. what ones are you guys keeping and where are you guys putting them? yeah i planned on putting a bung in the down pipe for sure for the wideband.
