home stretch with the twin turbo truck


well, busted ass today, hung the turbos, got all the intercooler piping cept for a crazy section in the front, from above the sway bar, to the intercooler in the front, going to an auto store tomorrow to grab 90 and 45 couplers and see what will work best for that, quit on that and finished all the wiring for everything, installed fuse panel, then we figured out what we wanted to do for the exhaust and figured fuck it, make both duals go back to where the stock exhaust was, more length should calm it down, blowing it out the passenger side in front of the tire like a lightning, so fabbed up all that today, and welded in a bung for the wideband. plugged in the stock narrow bands up front, all the couplers are connected nice for the turbo outlets, replaced the center driveshaft piece today with the right one finally...

also mounted the oil return pump to the frame. finished all the wiring and hoses for that...

everything is looking good, very very few things left to do.

should be ready to fire up and let the motor, coolant and trans come up to temp, check for leaks, and make sure everything is full.

then if all is well maybe it will move under its own power?!
