I'm wondering how in the hell you get full boost so early in RPM though. I'm gonn a have to call Rick tomorrow. LOL
Seeing how clean your truck is makes me want to finish mine. Then sell my T/A nad buy my Ex's truck.
Some Denali lights would be all I need to have one clean daily driver! Plus she already has the 4 10" JLs and the rest of the kickass stereo!

Nice truck.
Yeah... I haven't got on it enough yet to be exactly sure how fast I'm getting full boost, but it comes on really quick. On the highway, getting it to spool up quickly isn't a problem. It's from a start where i need a stall for some help.

I had the same thoughs on press bent vs mandrel bent -- I thought things were mandrel, but it doesn't really look it in some pics. (EDIT: I"m talking about the exhaust tubing just before the turbo)
Anyway, looks awesome. I'm jealous.
I have a question -- How is the turbo and associated hardware supported out back? Do you have to install some new mounts on the frame or on that frame-rail "crossover tube"?

See the turbo? It's on the other side of it.

that's a Turbosmart MBC. It has the ball type valve can be adjusted easily, but I like the locking feature w/ an allen key, so nobody can really get under there and adjust it(if they actually knew what it did)
