I'll be curious to see how the CX racing hot pipe kit holds up. It looks interesting for sure!

Where did you get the headlights and parking lights? Are they a decent quality? I like the way they look but aftermarket housings like that generally scare me... I have never had good luck.
Thanks! Yea the manifold is actually pretty stout, I was surprised. Since the truck has solid motor mounts now the turbo will eventually be supported off the frame also just for extra insurance, that S475 isn't light haha. As far as the head lights.. Against my better judgement I made an eBay purchase and as expected they're not the greatest, they do look good I just wasn't happy with the overall fitment. I wouldn't recommend for someone who dailys their truck I'm sure you'd also have moisture issues. Luckily for me they're really just for show, the truck will never see rain and the only time I'll ever need lights is on a return road at night lol

Just a few updates finally got the new standalone harness in and installed now in the process of finishing up the battery relocation. Also since photobucket decided to **** on everyone if there are in pictures that you'd like to see that aren't available for viewing I can try to edit the post using a different image host. Since my truck will spend most of its time in the garage I wanted to put external charging terminals for a battery tender on outside of the truck maybe in the roll pan or something but after thinking and not wanting to drill holes in the pan I figured I'd make them a little discreet and hide them where the gas cap used to be. Extremely happy with how clean it looks.





Along with the relocation I'm installing a quick disconnect switch. Here's the wire routing diagram I drew up. All wire is 1 gauge and were almost don't just need to tidy up a few wire and I post pictures.

Finally got around to getting this wiring started, Cutoff Switch is installed and and battery relocation is completely wired up. Fuel pump is all wired up with the exception of a couple terminal ends. I had my standalone harness built by BP Automotive and had them include a wire that could be ran to the bed for a key on distribution block for fuel pump and trans cooler. Should be starting on the trans cooler this weekend I'll post pictures afterwards, for now here's how the fuel pump wiring turned out.

Last bit of wiring is finished up in the bed. Trans cooler is now all ready to go along with the fuel pump. Waiting on a couple bulkhead fittings to come in to run the trans cooler lines. Got word yesterday the valve body showed up so I should be able to get a trans in this thing fairly soon. Also ordered a cross member off dirt track racer 81. Here's the rest of the pictures from the wiring in the back.
