Picked up a 4.6 Forged WAP block with Probe 18cc pistons, Manley H-Beam's, cobra crank, melling oil pump, and Patriot cnc stage II heads with turbo cams for a little over 2 grand

How much did you spend all together on parts before you did this, and would you be willing to fab more of these kits up if you had more interest as my brother is contemplating pulling his 4.6 in his 04 and dropping in a 5.4 to later install a blower but if he could save himself the trouble of doing so by adding a turbo like yours it would be great, and plz some pics of under the hood would be great
I will take some pics after the new motor is in!

Grats on a cool build. Might I suggest you find some way to shield the oil return line off the turbo. If you play in the bush I would be afraid that you might snag it on something.

way too many variables to even come close to an educated guess on that random question

Hey Guys,
I'm looking for some advice on the pre-turbo exhaust on the truck. Currently i have ceramic headers with deleted cats on the factory exhaust tubing until the Y-Pipe on the passenger side, then there is a 6' run of 2.75 tubing. to the turbo.
I'm looking at putting in 2.25" from the headers on both sides (i think 2.5" is factory) into a Y pipe then 2.5" out to the turbo. Reason is i would like my spool to be in the 2,700 or 2,800 RPM instead of 3,000 RPM. Should work or will it restrict exhaust flow / affect performance?
Turbo is a 61mm P-Trim BB Turbo with a .70 A/R

Well im going to hold off the exhaust for a little bit. I was accelerating pretty hard up a hill from a stop and then i heard a loud snap then grinding 
Something happened in the rear differential, im hoping its just the spider gears and not the ring and pinon cause it has 4.10's. Looking at getting the Detroit TruTrac for replacement.
The quest continues
