This truck is awesome!
I'm a big fan of the white on white look, it's a nice refreshing breath from everyone blacking out their sh*t.

Thanks. I too am tired of the black/smoked out everything. Thats why i stayed away from all that with this truck. I was kinda iffy on how it was gonna turn out but i'm extremely pleased with how it looks.
Its getting a hood, roll pan, paint, and possibly shaved down 22.5s. I really like the look of them so we shall see.

Got everything buttoned up except for the down pipe, Intake, and drivers side intercooler pipe.
I'm waiting on Jake to finish the down pipes and Intake; and from the looks of it, I'm going to have to cut the drivers side intercooler pipe and shorten it up some.
I started it and there was no fluid leaks. Once I get all my intercooler piping and all ill check for boost leaks.

I cant wait to see it installed! I have been wanting to make one for my truck but I won't mine reinforced so I can add some shackles to it.

im going to build a "bumper" behind it. That way if someone does happen to run into the back of me it wont tear everything up thats back there vs if there was nothing there.

Finally got the rest of my parts from Irate and got them all installed.
I've only driven it maybe 15 miles with the 366 on there but from what i can tell is that there is a major difference. The d66 was laggy, made the egts hot, and was very smokey. The 366 comes on way sooner, egts are very manageable, smoke is non existent unless you really push it hard. With the uppipes leaking on the d66 i could only see 22 pounds of boost or so and now it will hit will easily hit 30 and can steadily climb to 35+. I gotta watch that since i have no studs, springs, or push rods yet.
Overall. Much more enjoyable truck. Anyone on the fence about a t4 kit, I highly recommend one of Irate's kits.
If i had to say something bad about the kit, it would have to be the short down pipe. Proved to be very simple to connect to my already existing exhaust though.
