a Big thanks goes out to JDub for this turbo. What an awesome upgrade from the lil ol 38R.
Goodbye 38R!
New mount installed
Turbo and Intake Spider in
PAssenger side IC Tube
Completed Install!!! I will get a better pic. I was able to use my complete Intake system from my TYMAR, except need to use a 22* bent 4" pipe. fought with that for an hour trying to figure it out.
Also, got it running, and it ran like dog sh*t. I was stumped. should have known right away, but didnt unfortunately. Anyway, tried a few different things. Anyway, was about to give up for the night, and Dale at TYMAR was going to give me a ride home when Jacob called me back. I had text him the symptoms, and he said, "What did you do?" I replied with, All i did was swap turbos!!" He said, is there a Valve cover harness disconnected?" I said, " I dont think so, but will check" "Holy sh*t, drivers side VC Harness was completely out!" Its amazing how easy those things can get knocked loose. Truck runs great. Built about 34psi immediately on an easy run getting onto the highway. So was driving home and truck was cruising at 0 PSI of boost, which was really weird because i could tell it was building boost. Once i got home, check the boost line and it melted in half. Broke the zip tie holding it during the install and didnt realize it, and it fell on the turbo and melted. easy fix.
Overall my impressions with this turbo are very good, i definitely love it, less whistle and seems to have much more top end. Will drive it some more tomorrow.
Anyway, Jacob, i cant thank you enough, this was a fun day.
And another huge Thanks to Greg)(DeputyDog for coming out and giving me a hand, it was good to have you there for some of the bigger part of the job, and thanks for lunch also!
Fuel system will be coming, i am waiting on an AIrdog 2, and oil is in my future, just dont know when. Being a homeowner, the funds arent quite there for everything
