They're Injector Dynamics 2200cc injectors, high impedance. I think I re-used the old o-ring off the stock one for the t-stat housing, I'll have to check though.

I'm usually only out there at Jon's on Saturdays, he's been slammed with work lately with the truck shootout being next month so we haven't really had time to work on it. PM me with your number and I'll txt you. Shop is full of projects right now. Jon just got done redoing Kurt's downpipes and some fuel upgrades.

Sold the Vic Jr, going with a Holley Hi Ram.

Bought some used Precision 6676H turbos. 66mm compressor wheels, 76mm turbines, .81 AR exhaust housings with vband outlet, 4" inlet 3" outlet compressor covers. The big exhaust side has me thinking they might be a little laggy. But, picked them up for a good deal, so hopefully they work out.

I would have ordered all the stainless for the headers already, but just put a down payment for a house and bought the turbos = no monies. Soon though, possibly 2-3 weeks to order hotside/coldside material, then hurry up and wait for Jon to work on it

Should be a bad ****. I am interested to see how you get that Holley Hi Ram under your stock hood as I would love to run that intake as well.

Bout 2 more weeks and I'll post some update pics. Starting to get the torque arm fabbed, fuel cell fabbed, route all the fuel lines, and fab the motor mounts. Been busy with some side projects, and moving into a new home so I haven't had the time.

Another pic of the turbos just for kicks...

Did you ever get that Holley intake to fit under the stock hood and how did you do it if you did?
