God Damn that looks cool. I need to plan a trip to Oregon and come see this truck.

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.

Chris looks awesome, again i love all the progress. Nick ive followed that build a little bit as well. Both you gentlemen make viewing on these forums a pleasure.

That is a killer setup!! Very cool! and the fact you still use the truck makes the whole build completely unique and priceless. IMO.


Looking forward to seeing some more progress with it.

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

i used schedule 40 stainless steel pipe. made the manifold flanges out of 1/2 stainless steel steel plate. i bought the turbo flange.

 

[Chrisf97305]

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.
