Yes indeed cheez-its are a damn bushel of awesome.
Hot and cold piping will be coming from Kyle.
Kinda like a quick spool valve, this will just direct all the exhaust into one of the split sides instead of the exhaust splitting. If it doesnt work ill have to look into a different exhaust housing.
Im going to get it running at 12 lbs with meth and what ever it makes is going to make me happy.

Couplers and Clamps showed up.
Feed and return flanges should be here tomorrow or wednesday. Rest of the kit sometime soon.
Probably going to just get the stock Cobra injectors from a buddy and order a fuel pump kit from texas speed.
Still havent decided on how i am going to do the oil return, i am thinking hard line off of turbo hug the oil pan, then use the shortest piece of rubber line i can. Working on other peoples turbo trucks i saw the same thing everytime, the rubber line would get hard and crack...seemed like once a year it had to be replaced, i would rather just not have the problem at all.

Getting ready for the turbo kit. New intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, rockers (lower mileage ones for peace of mind) and finally do the throttle body bypass.
I am also switching to the later model valve covers and will be running a catch can vented to atmosphere.
Only picture for tonight, shop door was open and the wind started blowing so had to cover everything up.

Got the gaskets tonight, ordered the fuel pump, and a buddy is sending me some 39 lb cobra injectors. (43 lbs at our fuel pressure)
Also got the flanges i needed for the turbo, they are really nice pieces.
