Cool, well give me a shout before you head up!

Things are not looking so great for this weekend, got one race car to prep for a Saturday race I am in and have to fix (frame repair) after last nights racing. But I was able to make this fully custom turbo delete pipe. I spent alot of time ensuring that this would be the highest flowing setup out there.....note the perfect fitment.

hmmm.....

Looks like you got it backwards to me..

oke:

Unless that is, you plan to run BOTH the turbos out of the vally..

I am going through withdraw right now looking at your pictures.. Looks good Man.

What diameter pipe is that?

It's 3''. It is the stock downpipe off the dually.

Were those leaks associated with the stealth? If so, which leaks and how did it fix it? Mine currently aren't leaking but I know it is a common problem with the stealth design.

Main issues I was having with the barbed hose fittings included with my kit, it was a constant battle to keep them leak free.

Turbo delete..........removes air restriction?

The turbo delete was made so I could run the engine with the turbo's off for the hot retorque. Those turbo's are a pain to pull when they are hot.

That is a good idea never thought about doing that

Last time I pulled the cab to do the hot re-torque....but this seems much easier.

Hot re-torque is a must with FireRings.

Thanks!
It really kills me that this thing is still not running yet. Just got home from a buddy's shop, the Legends racecar is back together after a rough night of racing, and the sprint car build has just begun. Once the sprint is done there will be absolutely no time left for anything else, going to really push to have this thing done next weekend.

Teaser......

907DAVE · Jul 4, 2011

Alot of motorsport related activities up here, racing is just a summer sport for a bunch of us.

Whytry · Jul 4, 2011

53 hours...and you install a new engine, complete hot retorques, compete in a race, finish installing a compound turbo system, and drive the truck. :fordoval:

Wow.:shocked: Those are some wrench bending skills right there, or an addiction to caffiene, or a combination of both.:gethim:

I'm going to start planning my next oil change now.....LOL
