Nope too small. The flange on the new downpipe is larger. I tried everything.theres about a two inch gap in the clamp when it's on the flange and the t bolt isn't long enough to go through the other end to get the nut on

Ya I emailed him. I'm sure ill hear from him tomorrow. Especially since he replied to me earlier today since its Sunday about the oil feed line. Me and a buddy tackled it all night long Saturday. Started at 5p.m. and had turbos out and new turbo in by 5:30a.m. This morning. What a task! I'm glad I didn't go with just a an atmo BC I sure as hell wasn't about to put them damn things back in. Got all the up pipe bolts out with out heat and found a pretty good way of getting them out which helped alot. Done this in my one car garage lol. I also had to lower the trans a little bit to put a freeze plug back in on the back of the block. Hopefully I got it in there well enough.. So the only things holding me back from start up is the v-clamp, pre filling oil into turbo, batteries thrown in, and that's basically it. Wanting to relocate my passenger battery to the frame rail also. And I'm gonna cut the egr provision off old down pipe and weld on new one for my wastegate. Will probably have to re-tune gate so gonna have to find a spring set somewhere. The last thing to do Is getting a gearhead tune.

Yes and 3.55 rear end. 35" tires.
That's impressive that it spools so well given the gears, tire size, and size of the charger (I am guessing that was a very smart call on the A/R). Congrats on the build.

Ya it had me somewhat puzzled to how well it drives. Maybe I had my expectations set wayy too low. Idk. I'm super happy. I blew my first boot off today. Scared the hell out of me! Cant wait to get a single turbo tune to see the difference. I had to cut the old egr provision and weld it on the new down pipe. That was a pain for fitment reasons and I still gotta get it a little better since theres a small gap between turbo and dp flange. I also made a 5" intake to connect to my s&b box which also took some time..

Found out my on going trans problem today.. Talked to my tuner and for some reason they had in their records that i have a stock trans. A modded valve body plus increased line pressure by tuning is never good
New tune ordered today and traction bars in progress
