why thank you sir :t:

BikerSk8rKid 10-22-2009 09:20 PM

Congrats on the turbo. But it looks small? Are you cutting the bumper or getting a new one? I'm pretty sure it's not a big enough hole to breathe. But I may be wrong.

TUFF 4.6 10-23-2009 05:36 AM

Just make sure you get the last word in with the wife..........."Yes Dear":D

Im pretty much done. Just need the wastegate/boost controller, oil lines and two more of the v-band clamps/flanges and then its time to get it installed :D:D:D

Big thanx too a few buddies of mine :)

spike_africa 02-04-2010 07:10 PM

Sounds like your making good progress. Good to see your still at it.

redfire04 02-04-2010 07:47 PM

You've been at this for almost a year now? Looks like your getting pretty close. I'll bet your just itching to get this done!

I laughed when I saw the spectre reducer in the pic above. I bought a few elbows and straight couplers from silicone intakes for my procharger installation but realized I needed 2 reducers as well. I found 2 of them I think they were 3.5 - 4 inch at advanced auto and they were only like $10 each. I'm sure silicone intakes is better quality but I didn't have to wait for them and it saved me like $20.
