Hey Matt....

Do you have a picture of the way you got that wastegate piping attached to the bottom of the adaptor?

That's exactly where I was going to put mine. (Balanced!!!)

Thanks!

And BTW...I'd keep it in the fenderwell, and just ceramic coat it, and cover it. Run the air filter in front of the rad for the winter, and down out the bottom for summer.

engineered diesel sells a gate plate, not sure if thats what matt is running or not, its pretty sweet.

Yes, I've seen them.

They take up too much room though.

I was going to build divided up pipes, and overlap the wastegate take-off elbow into both ports...but to get this done quicker, I could just weld it onto the BD diverter adaptor that I have...which has no diverter valve in it...

But, I may just wait till winter, and do everything at once instead of piling chit together.

I can run the truck the way it is...just don't wanna run it too hard for too long...

Sorry for the derail Matt.

I've never seen a sled deck in person, but don't they basically sit ON TOP of the bed? What about all the room under it? Or does the sled deck sit in there too? I've seen some gassers with turbos in the bed too, they don't even bother with intercooling at that point, basically like the STS setups. Hallers setup was pretty slick.

I'd love to see more setups with the turbos in the valley to eliminate the fenderwell downpipe.

I'd rather have the primary mounted over the passenger fender, then have a clusterfucup looking setup like Industrial Injections.
Ceramic coating, and heat wrap are your friend.

If I had to do it again, I would mount the secondary like Kyle did, do an oil filter relocation, and still have the primary over the fender...it just works...and you can shorten up the piping a lot just by turning the secondary turbo to a right angle.
-look up the Turbonetics turbo mount for the 7.3L trucks...something like that for the sixes would be awesome.

exactly what I did.

Most sled decks have a frame that sit in the bed so your not having the deck riding on your bed rails. Kinda like this

You could modify it the frame, but it sounds like he dosnt want it back there.

Redneck6.0L · Sep 11, 2012

put a cummins in it, then you'd have lots of room to work on it

I thought about it but I can't seem to find it haha. I know it's out there somewhere. I'll make it back out there tomorrow hopefully. I was looking for my jigsaw out there today lol had other projects going on.

That's basically how my drag truck is. It's nice but i would want to move the ficm a little this time since its got less room to work with.

I'll keep that in mind. California isn't very fun with swaps though. I would have to do it with egr and everything stock to start with. And it has to be the same year or newer than the truck.

You don't have problems smogging your compound kit? I live in so cal and theyre nazis about that stuff

Yea i smog it this week lol. The problem with a swap is you can't exactly find a ref to pass the initial smog. After the first one it's fine.

Mdub707 · Sep 12, 2012

AKHILF, thanks, never seen under one. That makes sense. You could certainly come up with something to work though even with the framing being in the bed.
