sweet!
Now pay attention to the underhood temps with all that hot radiator air being blown in. Things like ignition coils, battery's and what your IAT is doing.
I recently had to revise my intake due to this. Remember your turbo will be ingesting hotter air now.
No---it never ends!

No problem man!

I'm just glad to see it working out for you.... Also very happy we got the boost controller installed. Mo boost = Mo better. Now about that check valve!

Thanks. Yeah the build will never be finished but the hard work is done

Now I just want to make everything pretty. I will have all the piping coated, maybe add boost braces or wiggins clamps, install the Synapse DV, etc.

Myself, Hoss-05, and possibly houstonrx8er. But the main focus is to get Hoss and I tuned.
