Haha Shanes done two builds on my truck before his. Might have a third build on mine before his is done.

Well I made a little progress once some materials arrived. Craig and Greg at MPD got me a blue oil cooler relocation plate and a set of their intake manifolds. They look killer. The gt4094r arrived as well. Ryan hooked me up on a pedestal plate and I built my pedestal to fit as low as I could mount the turbo. Oil drain and the T4 flange are the supports and there will be gussets as well. Fabricated the T6 to 3" adapter in 304ss. Ordered up Inconel bellows for the up pipes and 304ss bellow for the intermediate exhaust pipe. Went on vacation and decided to buy Kaleb's gtx4088r so now I have 2 hp turbos to try out that swap directly with each other. Also picked up a blue rcd oil filter relocation kit while on vacation. This past weekend I fabricated the intake intermediate pipe, waiting on vibrant vanjen clamps and a boot to complete it. Ordered all my 3" ic piping to fabricate everything, order vanjen clamps for all joints tomorrow and the turbine housing outlet flanges and oil supply flanges should arrive soon. Ryan also picked up some tight radius stainless to build my hot intermediate pipe and it's on route.

Here's some pics. Yes I'm trying to keep the oil fill on the passenger side.

Idk why you are running ball bearing chargers. Everyone knows they are turds and arent as good as JB borgs :poke: ... lol Im only kidding. Im pretty excited to see a truck perform with a pair of higher end turbos that are on the market. This thing has the potential to be highest hp 6.4 with the big turbos, big fuel, and built motor. Oh, and nitrous of course.


On another note, and Im not bashing, and wouldnt think of it because Im not a fabricator.... But why choose to mount the hp like that? When I look at my truck, and some others that are built, or are being built, it almost works perfect to mount it sideways in terms of the up pipes having a smooth transition and not a crazy bend into the turbo. And also the intermediate pipe comes basically straight out rather then turn 180 degrees to get to the atmosphere. Just picking your brain a bit, because a lot of trucks have been built both ways.

Shane and I have discussed this and what it really comes down to is where you want to pick your battle. Turning the hp so it's easy to run the up pipes and have a more complicated charge pipe set up or visa versa.
