The underhood light has 2 strips and is hooked to a switch I put on the fusebox. On youtube if you look up agearheadforlife he explains how to do it, hes actually local to me and got the idea after he saw my truck with it. Well for the $30.

Yea its 4wd, you can see the CV shaft in one of the pics if you look close. He actually brought it back a few days ago so I can finish up the tuning and fix some more things, like make a new 4 relay fan harness (high+low+ac control on an 02 without the pressure sensor) that I did today.

In the second pic or so I had to strip back a lot of wires so I could see what I needed to extend and separate to get it back there. Ended up extending 4 or 6 wires, but it was a pain to figure out which ones. I like the harness much better back there as well instead of across the middle. I actually like wiring though, kind of weird.

Looks good.
Quoting a job is hard like this.
Since you put more thought into a project then other shops.
I know I've done this on a few builds.
One reason I don't do installs anymore. D the tweaks add up. Lol

Looks good. Did he go from a cast 80mm turbo to a billet 85mm and race cover? If so how does he like it?

Cant comment on the exact turbo, but it drives ok, same as any "medium-big" turbo does.

Gotcha Mitch!

Just wanted to update this and report back that the owner has been beating on it for several weeks at 20psi with no issues and has hurt a ton of feelings with it. We got rid of the SCG-1 for boost control and went to a boost leash which is pretty nice. Also added in another transmission cooler to keep that under control. Overall he is very happy with it!
