Let me know on that man IDE love to talk to him and see what we can get worked out.

 

Sweet! now i just need to get back to work on mine! More pix please!

 

thanks for the comment, truck is still at the shop for oil lines and vacuum lines, tuning and a few other things. once i get it back all tuned and ready to go i'll have some pics and video to post up

 

with everything said and done what did this turbo cost you? seems like a good idea for some extra hp for the v6!

 

so far before tuning... (including the price of my xcal2) ive spent 3500$
gauges alone were expensive! Autometer gauges: wideband, fuel pressure, boost/vacuum was like 800 dollars!

everything just adds up so fast.

 

yes deffinetly worth it though! very unique! thanks for the information i have alot to do before i get this far!

 

Cool project 4 sure

 

It would be nice to get a photo or two of the pipe routing from under the truck. I have a 4wd so space under the truck is a liitle more cramped. But for other 2wd owners it would help

 

it hangs down pretty low, let me look through the pics and see what ive got.

this is a remote mount system.. these are the pipes that feed the turbo.



the good thing is from the side they are pretty even with the tires... so when i roll up over a speed bump everything wil just go up with the truck right over the speed bump... if it were before the tires when lookin from the side of the truck.. or after the tires.. id have clearence issues... OR if i had a really really realy soft suspension....

 

if you want more ground clearance you could "y" the two pipes before the xmember then use oval 3.5 inch tube then go up to the turbo. just a thought

 

you have any pictures of the whole truck?

 

it resembles a lightning... no L badges... id get some pics to show but im at work and im blocked from photosharing websites..the truck is all show and no go atleast until i get it back from the shop all tuned and ready to roll ;-) .

I seriously want my truck back... I'm going to the shop in about an hour at 8am when they open. Hopefully they'll have atleast done SOMETHING.

My truck has been unavailable since December 10th. It is now January 5th. The shop has only had it for a little over a week.

 

you're only a couple hours down the road... trailer it on up here and we'll finish it in my garage (I'm sure my wife would love that)

 

haha i've heard that from quite a few people "trailer it on down here we'll finish it up!"

i appreciate the offer. I dont really have any way to get it there, no truck, no trailer.. and not any extra time either :-(

its okay, i talked to the guy at the shop, he said he had to finish 2 mustangs (which he said he expected to be done today)

and afterwards he'd be finishing up my truck this week!

 

Oil lines are done! time for vacuum lines and everything in between.


they started the truck and let it idle to check for leaks.


no oil leaks!!!

i bet that *******er was loud as s***!!! theres no muffler on it, just all the pipe, and after the turbo is the downpipe and thats about it....

oh and i have an exhaust leak from where the stock manifolds meet the y pipe.

the kit was built on some mac headers... so i just bought some mac headers yay


i have about 5 gallons of 87 octane in my tank... i need to be at 93... think it would be okay to put 5 gallons of 104octane to bring up that 87 to somethin closer to 93?
