I got the Down Pipe on
Waste Gate on
Starter on
Radiator on
Intercooler on
Core support on
Shortened up the supply lines on the rear of the fuel lines, worries a little bit that they might be a bit crimped so I'm gonna revisit that before it's all said and done.
and a couple other misc things done as well. Non of the coolant lines or wiring harness has been touched but tomorrow, I need to get a couple things from the GM dealership and then I'm gonna have to tow my truck to and exhaust shop to do the exhaust and fix a couple cold side piping that were damaged in Curt's accident.
I'll post up some pics tomorrow when I get a chance.

That fuel setup is pretty sick. I have a question though, how did you clean the lines after you cut them? I think that might have been the cause of my recent troubles....when I cut the hoses there was a lot of dust and little particles. I blew out the lines with compressed air and ran water through them to clean them out, but I dont think that was enough...

Looking good! Be sure to flush those lines out good before starting

I've just blown them out up to this point, but plan on using a really soft bristled pipe tube cleaner. I've already removed a couple loose rubber chunks with my finger and just shaking it so I know there's more in there. It will be clean before start up though!!

Thanks Jarrett, shouldn't be too much longer, I hope. Maybe end of the month or early feb should be first start up. Found out that my valve covers don't support coil brackets so I'm gonna have to do a remote mount set of brackets, either that or I use the stock covers and have no PCV system which is obviously no bueno!!

So question these "things" on the bottom of the radiator are just rubber pads to help keep the lower half of the radiator in place and not slide around correct?? They serve no other purpose!





So here is my DP and wastegate hooked up, it gets a little tight between the last primary, the frame and the heat shield but it's nothing that can't be adjusted for...







Here's my Radiator and intercooler mounted, I still have to secure the lower half of the intercooler somehow because as of now it's just hanging from the top core support...



You can see the piping on either side of the intercooler that needs to be fabbed up, those pipes got crunched in Curt's accident!





Looks like I'll have to cut this bracket off of the Power steering heat exchanger and fab up something else to secure the lower half. This normally bolted to the A-frame that supports the A/C heat exchanger.
