I just read through this entire thread and to find out that you have to pull it apart now!! Sucks bro but sometimes that's the name of the game. Hope you get it figured out and rolling again. AMAZING BUILD!

So.... LME is taking extremely good care of me. For confidentiality reasons I can't really say what happened, but good news is, it should be back next week, and starting to get put back in the truck.

All of my cold and hot pipe is back from Jet Hot ceramic which came out really good, and I am installing a new custom FTI stall converter. Hopefully which will get the turbo to come up like it should. I did a little bit of shifter link modification inside the transmission to make manual first gear completely usable with a Rossler transbrake which is very nice.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone by the way. And thank you all for the support and compliments.

So basically LME fucked it up and told you not to say anything negative about them online.
