I've got the truck but no trailer, looks like they got you almost done by now

i dont know just yet. im up to 800 though at the shop.
im also going to let them do the headers.. they can do it a lot faster than i can.
they also installed my gauges and autometer pillar pod and everything too and it sure does look good
it would be ready for tuning it if wasnt for the exhaust leak. the kit was made on the macs and i figured since they were direct replacements it'd be okay but i was wrong so my fault. no big deal i wanted headers anyway.

for a remote mount setup... 3" pipe pretty much all the way through.
this truck IS a 4.2l V6 F150.. and its all stock.
do you guys think a T3 .63 / T04E .50 57 Trim to small for a remote mount v6 f150 setup?

really depends on how much PSI, what size turbo, and whats done to the truck as far as supporting mods. and the tuning..
a supercharger takes a lot more power to make the power since it runs on a belt. so if an eaton m90 supercharged 4.2l v6 at 6psi can make 227rwhp because it runs on a belt... the same truck with a turbocharger at 6psi might be able to make 260.
I'll be running 8psi hoping to make about 280 at the wheel.

now did you do anything via axles and transmission? how are they going to hold up! and im figuring if i wanted to do this it will be all custom work. is there somewhere that will fab everything up if i buy all the parts? sorry for all the questions!

the turbo seized up.
good thing my motor didnt blow.. rather lose a cheap turbo than to lose my motor.
ordered a new one today hopefully we can get back to tuning this week.
