Some of the turbo mounting... A little more bracing was added then what is pictured. The U shape of the manifold is aluminum, all other charge piping is going to be stainless.

Its all done by my buddy that has his private shop locally here. He builds some ridiculous cars from the ground up. Im sure he would be interested in building some more high hp diesels. I know he has built his 5.9, a buddies duramax, and now mine. There just arent many in our area looking to build diesel trucks. He is currently gathering parts to build his 5.9 into a 6.4... I think he said 5.9 crank with 6.7 pistons or something?? He was at rudys for the last 2 events in October with me for anyone who met him.

I got to meet Rob and saw some pictures of his work. He is extremely talented and does a really good job at anything he does. Real nice guy as well.

The picture really doesnt do justice at how big and stuffed the 88mm is... I cant imagine these guys using 95 and 100+mm chargers

Thanks, im sure itll slow down here pretty soon. Gotta do the stud job still. The truck has no symptoms so hopefully nothing is found when the heads get checked and surfaced. Lift pump system needs to be plumbed. Custom gauges in the cab. Compressor housing are going out to get powder coated silver/chrome. Figured being powder coated theyd be easier to clean and keep clean. All cold pipe stainless polished, hot pipe stuff wrapped.

How many miles in the truck? J/w for the sake of the lifters. Are you replacing the springs and pushrods?
