do you mean the vent tube on the radiator? I added a puke tank, as for the radiator it has done well for the slow 10 min drive I took it on yesterday, it has had plenty of idle time, and about 10 wot pulls all @190 degrees. Some nice Louisiana stop and go will be the true test lol. Everything is very well wrapped and suprisingly underhood temps aren't near what I thought they were going to be. The Blankets REALLY help.

Thanks! It is actually quiter in the car than my lt's with the true duals that terminated right at the rear end. It is about the same out side the car. I have been driving and making some ve changes here and there. I am about go make an IAT timing tricker type deal so it will pull timing on the two step.

I drove it last night and we had some decent air 68* ambient and instantly broke loose on the 2-3 shift so over all I am fairly pleased with the power on 7 psi.

I would recomend it, it wasn't a bad install the guys @n2mb are easy to deal with and it is a simple/easy to use product.

not yet my friends are hounding me to so I might have one up tomorrow, I am going to try to get the Iat resistor mod done tonight and get the ve right on the shift points so I can show yall some fire *****. It has hit really hard on a couple shifts and all I can say is it is a thing of beauty to see two huge fireballs on the 2-3 and 3-4.

Awesome, very nice. Never been exposed to turbos really. Are they 100% supported by the tubing or are they self supported?

They are just supported by the tubing. It would have been a better idea to support them but I was on a REALLY tight budget.

I'm curious as well how you have the turbos mounted, just by the piping or by a support. I'm doing the same kind of setup accept twin 70's and a 5.3 with TFS heads.

They are just mild steel too so I don't expect them to last till the end of time but they are holding up fine for now. If I start experiencing cracking problems I will build bracing.

are you running solid motor mounts? Thats the only problem I can see, is if you're not running them and dont have it braced, it will be bouncing around quite a bit, which will induce cracking a lot quicker.

No solid mounts, I would either use some type of flex joint or build the brace off the engine.
