From my eyes, here is what sets my truck apart from the rest.
I designed, and built everything on my truck. There is nothing off the shelf on my truck.(-injectors, air to air and air to water intercoolers)I have done things that nobody has done and it works. I built the twin turbo set up in 2010. Once i got the manifold worpage under control and the turbo drains figured out I have 0 problems with the set up. She will build 60 psi of boost. I built the intake system with the water to air intercooler on it in DEC of 2012. again 0 problems. all the stainless lines 0 leakage. I know i am the only person ever to use hard steel lines for my HPOP supply. I am running 250 100 injectors now and finely got them tuned. I will be running it on the dyno, pulling and drag racing the truck this year to see what she can do. I have seen a lot of projects start, some have finished but not many are still running everyday after 4 year. I am pushing 4 years and almost 15,000 miles on this set up. I drive it everyday to work, rain or shine. Show me another truck that has had this much custom work done to it and its still on the road. I would like to see it and to shake the hand of the man that built it because that's something to be proud of.

That Is absolutely a piece of artwork. Something to be proud of for sure. What I really love is that you actually use it everyday, hard to find people like that anymore. Here's a few pics of my old setup, put about 15,000 miles on it in 3 months.
Once again my friend, badass for sure. I wish you nothing but the best of luck with it.

Hey what materials do you guys use for the pipes and headers for your turbo setups?

Well I finaly got my water to air intercooler up and working. used a 3 gpm sureflow pump to move the water.
Installed the pump on the fender under the water tank. The tank will hold a 5 lb bag of ice.
Wired it into my relays.
And there is the tank. I am now ready for pulling.
