Default The Turbo is on

For now Got some fab work done but still needs some more.We made a brace for the Turbo to take any stress off the headers and cut the front out to move the radiator's forward to use the stock fans

Wow.. looks nice.

Does the heat from the Turbo interfere with anything up front on the motor?

The only part we are worried about is the balancer.

The pipes could be coated but we will see on how it spools.Also I would make sure the kit is 100% to my liking before doing so.

Matt,I think the T88 would work great on your truck but it might not spool till 6500rpm

Mike can upgrade the turbo to something bigger if he doesn’t like how much power he makes. Possibilities are endless
