hell yeah brother! First off, BIG congrats! Second, I look forward to all the things you/we learn from this setup. I'm sure things aren't perfect but I'm also sure you expected that.
It's good to see you started with a clean install; will make a world of difference as your project is fine-tuned/evolves.

Did I mention congrats!

Looks good Kyle. The heat exchanger looks like it fit right in there. Never knew there was that much room from the top of the fan shroud to get a pc of tubing in there...

Ya, the HX fit perfect, nice job . That intake tube JUST fits there. I heated and molded a little valley right at the peak of the shroud to give a little more room. It just touched there and then on the top at the coupler and about 2" on the pass side of the tube at the bend touches the hood insulation. You couldn't fit anything bigger then a 3" tube there though unless you made it oval.

I was having a heck of a time yesterday with tuning this thing, could not for the life of me get it to richen up. Had almost double the Boost VE table and wasn't making any progress. Though maybe the fuel pump was going bad. Then it hit me, seemed like there just wasn't any fuel pressure (I don't have a FP gauge in the truck ). Then I though maybe I screwed something up with the reg when I transferred it from the stock rail to the TVS block. I looked in the stock rail and sure enough, the little oring that seals the return off was STILL in it, so a basically was just free flowing fuel though the reg, . So I got that fixed and am back to square 1 with tuning today, lol.

Still haven't put water in the TVS intercooler cuz I have to pull the blower off to change and oil pressure sender But with 10 psi of boost, I haven't seen IAT's more then 125* with it being in the 60's here yesterday. I think IT temps are gonna be just fine
