haha i hear ya on that! Im just glad to be getting a good looking lightweight wheel for a good deal. More importantly my calipers need the extra room up front since I put on the powerslot 14"ers. Calipers barely clear my 18s by the size of a dust particle lol.

Looks good man! post some pics of the turbo kit.

What changes need to be made to make the turbo fit in the engine bay?

From what I know, main thing is to reroute heater hose and then slightly bend the AC line. Not sure of what other issues there might be yet. Should be getting the kit in either this week or next.

Looks great man and the build sounds exciting. I said if i ever move back north and trade my truck for a 4x4 that this is what i would do. I would level it with something like ur wheel setup and go fi. Great looking truck and good build ideas. Ill b looking for updates on this one for sure. Pics of the turbo setup when it comes in!

For anyone that hasnt seen the Powerslot Plus upgrade kit, this is the clearance with 14" rotors. The valve stem is about an inch from the caliper and off to the side some.



Ill get pics of the kit up as soon as some backordered parts arrive.

I keep telling myself, and everyone else for that matter that they aren't go fast parts. They're just to help make the engine much more efficient. lol

Couple more pictures that I forgot...



Intercooler and cold pipes, going SD when this gets put on.


Wrapped aluminized hot pipes (by Kyle) with 3" dp. Not sure if Im going 3" all the way or stepping to 3.5" at the dp.


Compressor side


Turbine side, .96 a/r undivided.
