    ive read thru the thread and have followed some of your methods for turboing my truck

    my question though do you have an oil pressure gauge installed and what are the readings you've been getting?

    what grade oil are you using?

    Good stuff man! No gauge for oil pressure not too worried about that. I just check my oil from time to time. I run synthetic 10w-30 still Mobile1 from Costco. Any synthetic will work.

    Most definitely... I check my oil like 5 times a week and change it every 3-5k though religiously so it hasn’t been much of a priority

    Yeah me too brotha... my turbo has been seeping too. I’m clocked (turbo feed&drain) at like 1:30 and 7:30 but it has never leaked until recently. Since I have to undo it anyway I ordered some ridgeway blue cerakote for the cold side, charge pipes and upper intake manifold. Should be sick lookin when I’m done

    I like how your bed cage helps you to keep the shock cut outs as small as possible - I'm looking to build one that's similar. Do you know what your shock angles are at full bump and full droop? Mind measuring how far your shocks are mounted on th axle from the leaves? Looking forward to building something similar to your truck! Awesome job man :)
