Tom,
Thanks for supporting my YouTube channel. I really appreciate that!
Also, if you need help with the Terminator X, let me know. I have made a couple software review videos (will make more). Feel free to ping me here or on IG.

Thank you for checking out the new video guys, I know a rear mounted turbo is kinda crazy, but it is something I've always been curious about and wanted to try. Here's a link to it, y'all are too fast for me! :-D

As always, Tom does great work, but I wouldn't have done the rear mount. The truck seems to have a ton of space under the hood. I would have done a simple system, using the Holley cast iron manifolds, which would fit with the daily drive theme of the build.

Pretty cool little project. Just watched the latest two, I'll have to go back and watch the earlier ones. One little thing, with the exhaust wrap, if you soak it in water prior to wrapping it you can get a much much tighter wrap, also wrap from "back to front" and your wrap with flow per-say while driving down the road and and not catch wind. Also were all those flex joint necessary? I understand you want some allowable movement but I feel either the two in front, or just the one post merge would of been sufficient.

Sorry for 2 separate posts, I fat fingered my phone.
I have had Dillon Radiators modify 2 different radiators for me with divorced filler neck so I could put the rad in the core support. This one was on my street Chevy luv, the 9ther is in my v8 Nissan Hard body. The reason for the 2 colors on the fender aprons is the core support was hacked, so I grafted one in so it would look stock...

Tom,
Thanks for the build video series.
I followed your V8 Miata build video's and built one a couple of years ago.
Easily ranks as the most interesting project I have ever done.
I love it but my wife curses you as being the devil on my shoulder.
This project appears to be quite a bit more complicated but hopefully it will inspire some folks to follow your example.

Always enjoy the videos, and marvel at how clean your stuff is. Everything is Michigan is rusty
Question: When you did the speedometer connection, did you have to pull the wire up to 5 or 12 volts to get it to work? Which output pin did you connect it to? I am fighting my speedometer right now, trying to get it to work.....
