Streetmax Turbo Arrived - DIY Tips?

[bpan]

Just got my streetmax Turbo kit. Planning on doing it myself, hopefully cab on. Has anyone done this at home? Got any tips? Looks pretty straight forward. Pull wheel liner, undo downpipe, remove intake manifold, turbo, repeat backwards?

I can pull the cab if needed my hoist is too small for my truck, but with some creativity I could squeeze it through and use it on the cab if needed.

Zero reason to pull cab. Air hammer with long bit. Beer. Curse words.

What the gell do I need that for? Braking the turbo loose?
EDIT: isn't beer and curse words standard procedure for any project?

Busting the vbands loose.

Interesting.... I didn't think they would be that tight

spray the vbands with blaster IN ADVANCE !!! as for install, absolutely no reason to pull cab, much simpler than that blake ! just dive in.

Will do. I'll be spraying all week lol

the air hammer is not totally necessary, a long striking prybar and hammer works just fine.

Spray them with PB blaster and theyll come right off.

If I can get this done, anyone can LOL

The only thing part where it really helps to have 2 sets of hands is reinstalling the downpipe.

Sounds like an average night at the shop when we're working on our trucks.

PB Blaster is a definite on the bolts. I soaked my EGR bolts for 2 weeks prior to us ******** it and they all came out no problem.

I did a 15 turbo kit on a 2011 that was already deelleeted. No cussing involved. No need to remove the fender liner either. Just work from the front to the back. And then from the back to the front.

Yeah I'm del'ed and have a NL intake, should be a relatively quick process.

I took my time, and did it in an afternoon.

Did you get the upgraded cold side pipe to get rid of the plastic one that blows up?
