    You might try to get some parts from Trick Perf parts. They make good stuff. My truck is running with the turbo I just need the exhaust hooked up. There kit was right on the money.

    That sux! There should be plenty of affordable kits out there that will work with your truck! There should be some out in the future as well! It seems that STS kits used are real cheap!

    Yeah, ask around on all the forums about hot pipes. You've got a nice turbo and BOV now just locate the missing pieces. Sure its going to be quite a bit more pricey than when you started out but sometimes that happens when you bargain hunt.

    The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......

    After I bought it....but regardless, you were right. Serves me right for trying a "prototype". Still might be able to use the turbo and some of the parts. Got some other possibilities in the works.

    I'm talking with Billy about some options, so I'll probably be good. But I will say I admire all your work. You look like your obsessive compulsive, which to me is a good thing lol. I bet you could make some cash if you were to produce some kits or at least pieces.

    Not a problem bud. Glad ya made it on Friday. And you're right...that's what we're shooting for - fabbing up a front mount on the passengers side. Trying not to get my hopes up because that's the way stuff goes for me, but I think Billy is going to come through for me once again.

    Exactly. That's part of the plan.

    Yeah I talked to Rick. He's extremely helpful, I just can't swing that kind of cash right now.

    And not ignoring the rest of you - just exhausted lol. I think it's going to turn out good in the end, just need to redo my plan. Basically going to get an intercooler from Billy (guaranteed to fit), the hot pipes from KB and fab up the rest. Might try to trade the 80mm for a 72mm. We'll see.
