Did the wiring for the fuel pump and pressurized the system


Nice fat Magnecor wires


Started to make the intercooler piping, got to 90%. All the bits an pieces cut up but run out of shielding gas before I could weld them up completely. Also made a 4" inlet for the turbo. Will get another bigger filter and move it to a better position later on.

Thank you sir.

Mods? you know, the usual. Remove headlights, notch frame, Aluminum brackets. Completely different intercooler piping. Re-located expansion tank exchanged out for one from a Volvo. - And liberal use of Sawz-all. Significant power gains though. But mostly for this larger turbo set up I just installed. Yet to be taken to full boost. Maybe next weekend. Will 1/4mile as soon as that is done. (I'm not too shabby at that kind of Stuff.) But you guys have me so damn worried about those CV cages. I'll have trailer on hand.

I'm dying to know what kind of power gains are to be had from a header like we're talking about. I just don't think it will be worth it unless from a large turbo set-up it might free up 30hp and faster spool?

to not cut away something as big as duke did you need to:

cut a notch in bumper
cut a notch in alu rail that holds bumper
remove the wireing in front of the frame cross thingy and put it under
make a new nosepanel
new plumbing of course..
also need to fabricate/weld mounts on the IC

No need for these. Pete did it with special "bend" type IC, which is big.
