I dont think I am running a blanket. The turbine housing is a v-band from bullseye...not sure how well a standard blanket would fit. No special plans for heat until I test. Transmission cooler is a stand-alone B&M, 90mm junk china throttle body...and no

As mentioned above, standard blue/green GM truck PCM

Unfortunately couldn't quite make the cut. I gave it everything I had...but in 13 days it just proved to be a little too much. Either way...we accomplished a ton!

Great effort anyway, great work also. Dont leave us hanging on the progress lol, but without the time restraint it should be a little easier on you and your guys to get it all straight without risking problems 1200 miles away. This is gonna be a sweet ride when completed. Thanks for all the updates.

Finally down to the last few straws. Spent all weekend buttoning up odds and ends as well as hammering out the wiring. The engine side of the harness is done, now I need to integrate the harness into the body side of things.

I also finished up the charge pipes, wastegate and the dump tube.
