Lol, you're crazy. I got up at 730 this morning just so I could work on the truck and now I'm sitting at the bar kickin back with a miller lite and my Todd Gurley jersey on.
I'll try to get the truck off jackstands if I have time after work tomorrow. The changes have been complex, I had the converter restalled so that will make any comparison of the turbos under regular driving difficult.
The thing I'm most happy about however is I can now go pick up the tv ive been wanting to buy. Damn 65" wont fit in the pos civic

Both of my trucks have pulled my boat 2hrs round trip for the past two days to the lake and back. Took tomorrow off work to hunt and fish all day. You're one up on me, I'm just happy all my **** runs and goes down the road.

The big T6 is alive! Had some serious difficulty getting all the pipes line up as I was adding an extension pipe to hook up with my catback utilizing 2 slip fits and 1 vband joint.
Oddly, I noticed my front coolant line where it slips on the water pump fitting was weeping a little bit before I had started the truck. I figured it got moved a bit while I was installing the oil line/turbo? Maybe the rubber is degrading from the nearby heat. Once the truck got up to temp, no leak. So I think I'll run it and see what happens. The thought of draining the coolant and redoing the hose right now...
The new turbo kit has a built in cutout too, can't wait to open that up and see what this triple 12 sounds like.

Actual, not really. Sbe in the Nova ran 3 years at 1000+ hp with stock truck intake and tb. Rods where a little tweaked, but still running 8's when he pulled it out a few months ago. And the truck has had same sbe 6l in it for 5+ years now... The only motor he actually blew up that I know of was his first, old style rod motor he had in the truck like 6-7 years ago. Just sayin, lol

Ok sorry. Motor not motors. I am not knocking his accomplishments at all. I could have swore i read that he was running a 1bar maf tune with no wideband on his 9sec pass. Perhaps i am remembering incorrectly.
