Message: [QUOTE="williamallen13, post: 1330369, member: 22196"] Well I finished the kit this morning. It actually took me longer due to not having any instructions with the new kit. I did have a cell phone number that I called about 20 times. This is the steps I used to install the 6.7 Powerstroke MPD Budget kit. 1. leave up pipe attached to turbo flange and install up pipes to the headers with new gaskets and torque down. 2. install drivers side headers heat shield 3. install lower pedestal's 90* oil line fitting, leave at 45* up towards passenger side 4. install lower pedestal to engine with gasket 5. attach oil line straight fitting and line to the turbo 6. loosen housings to the turbo and rotate exhaust side to have oil supply at bottom and t4 flange at top exactly opposite each other 7. install upper piece of pedestal to the turbo with o ring 8. carefully place turbo on lower pedestal in valley, put upper air intake in but don't bolt in just to rotate front of turbo housing to touch the upper intake(has to touch) and tighten a couple housing bolts to hold it's position then pull out and tighten all housing bolts 9. place gasket on lower pedestal and install turbo and torque down 10. install t4 gasket and 4 bolts to turbo and up pipe piece 11. take off next piece of exhaust on truck to make room for downpipe 12. slide downpipes together leaving loose then slide up from bottom and attach to the back of the turbo and put exhaust back together rotate and tighten all bolts 13. attach boot to turbo inlet 14. install plug in oil line hose. (I used hose clamps instead of factory clamps) 15. install lower intake to boot on turbo and force in and bolt down to engine then tighten boot clamps 16. attach boot to intercooler pipe and boost tube 17. attach 45* boot to turbo and tweak on top of fuel lines and under upper intake. It does fit but you will have a slight crease in the boot. Then attach to intercooler pipe and clamp all boots 18. install coolant tube on passenger side of intake 19. install upper intake manifold and map sensor 20. install air filter assembly and sensor 21. put cap on vacuum line to old turbo wastegate 22. fill coolant 23. drain and fill oil changing oil filter 24. tune 25, pray there's no leaks and enjoy I didn't get the t4 flange gasket with the turbo but they are sending one out so I'll install it when it comes. Other then that and no instructions everything went fairly good. I'm a novice so if I can do it then anyone can, well almost anyone. After driving it I did notice it doesn't make much boost until about 2250-2400 rpms. I only drove it about 30 min stopped for awhile and then drove another 30 min. There's no leaks and no codes. It does have a louder turbo sound in the cab but no more whooshing. It also has a more diesel sound when you punch it like it's bogging down in gas until it gets boost up then it pulls great. I really didn't want to take a chance on breaking anything first time out so I will update later this week with the different tunes. I drove in the level 3 from Punch it Performance and No Limit. I have a total of 4 tunes so I'll try another tomorrow. Probably level 2 since I will be towing my 2k cargo trailer. I'll also make a video and get some pictures. [/QUOTE]
