Just build a new log and DP set up, get that turbo farther forward and rotated towards the blower. You got everything just laying around..

I do, but that's NOT worth the trouble

It's clocked a little off so the bolt holes don't interfere with each other.

You guys are making too much out of it, if I point it down, it can build with only 270* of nice sweeping, wide radius mandrel bends with only about 2 feet of total tubing

Slacker, check your pms.
Looking forward to seeing how this set up turns out..

Why not go through your front intercooler to keep the turbo temps down.?

Yeah i agree with the intercooler. KEEP IT! Two compressors... two things making heat...

Turbo spools well on your truck anyways kyle (it did with the 4.8)...

and the s/c should give you more"instant" boost than you need as it is lol.


Oh i cant wait for this to be done... i feel like a giggly school girl!

Well, I fuigered I would give you guys an update. Didn't get as much done the last couple days as I would have hoped and still waiting on TB gaskets, but all the big stuff it done and fabricated. Just have a bunch of little pluming and wiring stuff to do. Got the throttle bracket built, since Magnacharger doesn't have a setup for cable TB's yet and also got the cold side pipes made up. I decided to go ahead and just keep the A/A intercooler for now, since everyone seems to think this is going to be nothing but a hot air machine anyway








Gotta work the next 2 day, but have the weekend off, so if all goes well, maybe she'll be running by the end of it. Man this small stuff takes for ever!
