Dually's Drop Taco

Well here's what showed up on Friday!
The horribly welded turbo mani:



Fixed it the best i could with wirefeed:






Intercooler:


Horrible Mock-Up lol:

 

dude nice i wanna see pictures after the install. and dually, if you could post about how much all this is costing you to do, that would be great. im thinking about doing this same route. or even possibly a S/C

 

Turbo FTW!!! You can get sooo much more power out a turbo that a S/C. A book to read is Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. IMO, the best book on the subject of turbos.


So far, ive spent

$95 with shipping for the Turbo Mani
$72 for the Intercooler

My BOV should be here sometime, but im still shopping for the turbo!

 

sweet

 

man i can't wait to see this all installed

 

are you doin this to a 4 banger? From a fellow 4 cyl i say bravo, bravo

 

Yep 2rz! Its a slow process, but its going to happen

 

I am not trying to be mean but it looks like a Frankenstein

 

What does? ohh btw 2wd sucks horribly in the winter

 

Well, as most of you know, I had a little Mis-hap with the Drop-Taco. Here is some of the damagefor Build Purposes)







My turbo showed up:
Garrett-Airesearch T3





Wrapped Header:



The truck hopefully will be drivable by the end of the week.
New rotors, Brake pads, hub studs, wheel bearings, lug nuts and rotor guard should all be here tomorrow. Still need to locate a new fender and get my door painted. This really really postponed the turbo, pretty low on funds now! It sucks

 

well dually, it looks like youve made progress. i hope it all works out for ya

 

End of the week the front end should be together!!! Minus a new fender lol. I doubt the turbo will be on for the Truck of the month competition unfortunately!

 

Nice bro!

 

Looking good man, sorry about your fender.

 

Woohoo! Picked up a brand new OEM fender for $75 Shipped! It should be here next week! In the mean time, im blacking my corners and painting my bumpers. Pics later!

Edit: Oh, and a bummer, the truck was in a wreck at one time....

 

well, dually, seems like for christmas, you should have one bitchin ride by then.

 

Hopefully! The turbo set up is on the backburners for now, but i cannot wait!

 

yeah i hear ya. but just remember, that truck IS gonna be really NICE after you get the turbo set up on it.
