Nice project, really like the clean gauges, can there wideband be used to log with hptuners? Is the boost gauge electrical or machanical?

Just unloom them. There's plenty there just takes a little time.
Yea, I didn't mean to say that I extended them. I just pulled them from the loom. There should be plenty! I just coiled it up and ziptied it near the firewall there. Still need some more split loom to protect it once I get the maf moved down in front of the engine.

I haven't tried logging with it yet. I do have it setup to though. The controller is mounted in the engine bay with the 0-5v wires coming into the cabin and up to the gauge and I have additional wires soldered into them and run under the dash to the center of the truck so they can be plugged in to the tuner.

As a matter of fact I don't have the wideband hooked up yet. The sensor is disconnected until I get the turbo installed. It was pointless to weld in a bung on the factory exhaust since I am about to take it off.

That's different on the Vacuum block. I like that.

leave the ac line alone until you dry fit the turbo and downpipe. Nice job.

Are you going to run the water lines how I ran mine or all the way over to the fender then up to the heater core?

Yea, its a cheap-o off Amazon. It was $20 or so. It doesn't leak and does a what I need. I was going to mount it to the firewall but there weren't any flat surfaces for me to mount it where I wanted. It just happened to be the perfect spacing between the bolts to mount it on the coils with some longer bolts and spacers. It turned out pretty decent I think.

When I did the cam swap last year, I rerouted them behind the battery and then up along the fender and under the coolant reservoir.

Can't really do much tonight. Had to work later and besides I can't do much else until I get the injectors.

So, I spent my time gapping spark plugs.

Should I just get ID1000s? Any difference in the driveability between those and the 850s? They are the same price so I feel like I might as well just get those.

Awesome! Kyle at KB just finished my kit today with the S369 and is shipping it out tomorrow. Can't wait to see how yours turns out!
