Ordered my ecu from Justin and Alex at blackbear performance... hopefully will be here next week which will get rid of my CEL, anti-theft system, and hopefully let me finish out the electronic side of the build.

No luck finding an intercooler yesterday... might go with an egay one if I cant come up with a stock unit soon.

Anywho... more to come

What about plumbing your factory air/water to a different water source? Run it to a heat exchanger and you'll be in business. You could do a chiller box etc...

Not sure how effective it would be... only reason I hadn't given it much thought.

Are a/w charge coolers as effective as a/a?

More effective in short bursts but I would think with a diesel always in boost the water would get heat soaked. I could be wrong though

Turned out pretty slick in my opinion. I may have a line on a d-max intercooler too... more progress soon hopefully

Those switches look great! Probably looks pretty mean with them all lit up
