[QUOTE="NorcalOBS, post: 956250, member: 14612"] Hey neverkickn, thanks for checkin in on me. I know that this stuff is everyday biz for a good shop. However, I have done everything to this truck so far all on my own so I don't have a relationship with any shops other than my tuners(which is very limited). I also feel bad bothering a good shop with helping me if I am not spending any $ with them. I am really thinking I will wind up buying an Irate mount. So I should call them and see if someone will help put my mind to rest. I don't think I want to try to save money building my own uppies. The cheapest set of IH up pipes or comparable ss bellowed pipes made by some of the performance shops was $400 and up. The time needed to make them wouldn't be worth it to me. I would have to source all the parts then there would be 2-3 bends per side (I don't have mandrel dies that big yet) so I would have to cut and weld all the bends in. It would probably take an entire day for me to get them done right and I would only save a couple hundred bucks. Swamps and Irate are $625 for a T4 basic mount. So for $200 more than the cost of doughnut free uppies; I get the uppies, collector, T4i flange, the plate that goes in the valley, the oil return fitting, and hardware. I actually think that for a fabricated performance part that this is a very very good value! It would probably save me 2 days of fab time. Then I can put more of my time into the piping that everyone will see. :naughty: As far as the VGT mission goes I know I will be getting some grief for attempting this along the way but hey I am up for it. lol. I know that I can get a good running setup without VGT. Aside from having to keep an eye on my egts I would say I already have a great running truck. I have been very happy with the injectors and tuning from gearhead. VGT is a great tech when it isn't primarily used to mess up the drive/boost ratios in order to shove exhaust back into the motor that should be leaving out the tail pipe.... I have commercial trucks and the newer ones with VGTs all have a much much power band than most of the older stuff. I am confident that I have a good design for controlling the vanes. I will post up a rough layout of how I will be controlling the VGT later this week when I get a bit more time. Anyways, I know you think I'm nuts but follow along... Us crazies can be darn entertaining at times. :toast: [/QUOTE]
