Well it's not a lot of parts, I just can't find the 2 I need. A fitting for the CAC pipe and BP sensor to go into the bung. The one that came with the kit is bigger than the original one

So I'm going to start back on this tomorrow. I've decided (again) to hold off on putting in the wastegate in till I pull the cab and do up pipes and everything. I'm going to move my block off plate to where the egr provision is on the up pipe and drill and tap that for the BP sensor. Anyone know what size tap it is off the top of your head?

Gonna hit it hard in the morning and try to finish in time to hit a drag strip!

Well.... Rounded off an up pipe bolt and worked on it all day with every option I could think of with no luck. Got fed up with it and put it back together. Pissed the hell off. Gonna save every dime I can so I can do studs asap and swap turbos when we pull the cab. Now I'm going to go drink cold beer.

Yeah its things like that, that cause agressive beer consumption. I've had a few things happen like that and you want to burn the f*cking truck to the ground. But honestly its worth it all in the end! So on that note cheers to a good cold brew!:toast:

Thinking direct drive clutches. Launched too hard and got wheel hop and something broke loose. Got home driving it easy but it never slipped or anything after that. Have to give it some rpms to go into gear though and has no reverse at all.
