EDIT: Turbo Project Resurrected

[thunder550]

Do you have fittings for the oil feed and drain? You'll have to drill and tap the oil pan somewhere for the oil drain.

How about vacuum lines for the wastegate and blowoff valve?

You've got your work cut out for you putting the turbo on the driver's side like that. Is that DanaliHD's old kit from pt.net? I will never understand why the shop he took it to did it on that side when there is 10x more room on the passenger side....good luck!

x2..

exhaust wrap sucks ass putting on when your under the truck. i got that fiberglass **** ALLLL over me and I only did like 3 feet of wrap.

[DamnYankee]

Billy said the wrap should be done wet...maybe that helps?

And yes, it's DanaliHD's kit. I know it's tight over there. But as long as it works...

I'm supposed to get the stuff today, so we'll see what's included in it.

being wet does help. It also bakes on stiff. We typically use 100' on a truck with the STS, overlapping 1" every go-round.

I hope it works for you, that's like the old livern kit, it worked, but it was a PITA to work on and change plugs, maybe it's easier than that kit was. Just kind of odd a single turbo would be on that side, kind of tight fitting.

once you get all your stuff together, add another $1000 dollars in misc stuff you'll need. It always happens and you're getting into a new field, forced induction gets ex$pensive quick!

good luck on your build and i'm sure it'll haul ass!

[DamnYankee]

Yeah I think the previous owner had mentioned the difficulty with changing plugs. I got new ones so hopefully I won't have to worry about it for a while.

Thanks Allen.

Hey - do you remember about two years ago when I was in your driveway and just got Pin 42 turned on for the e-fans and the speed limiter removed? And you were trying to talk me into a tune? But I said I couldn't and left and got about 2 miles down the road and came back and got one? Then you were trying to talk me into a cam and converter, and I laughed and said no way - I'm not out to break any records? Then I got a cam and converter? Anyway - just struck me funny. This addiction. Now I'm going turbo. Gotta love it...

[thunder550]

It's like a drug. I remember how excited I was when I got my first exhaust system put on the truck, lol.

[TurboMic]

it cost more than crack............ but its more fun, Im pretty sure.... lol
BOOOOOOOOST

[RedHeartbeat]

I can see it now, LS1Truck.com members robbing people, breaking into homes, stealing and pilferring copper to support their turbo habits.
