Turbo install

I sent an offer a little over budget but will see if he'll sell it

 

Ok you got my attention, the trd sc kits are discontinued anyways

 

I bought the turbo from Jimountain on customtacos. Manifold is being built and coming soon. This is all happening so fast. I was planing on taking a little time just to make sure everything is right. I got the gauges in today just need to hook up the air/fuel gauge(narrowband)to get started and here is what I'm starting with.

 

What turbo and how much u get it for?

 

It's the precision turbo 5431E. I've found out since then that only the mfg can rebuild it but it just had a fresh rebuild 0 miles I payed $400

 

I've never used a tc on a truck, how are you liking it?

 

Turbo not installed yet just started

 

Looking forward to your post on it. I hope it's a smooth install for you.

 

Here's what I got so far. I'll have to get an adapter for the wastgate vianda to bolt on

 

Nice looking manifold!

 

Wastgate is 2 bolt and flange on manifold is v band so I'll need to get an adapter and it doesn't have a place for EGR so I'll have to do the EGR delete.

 

would it not be easier to just get a vband wastegate? save some space too, which is a pretty big deal on my truck anyway

 

Yep I'll be returning the wastgate and get the v band

 

How your progress coming along?

 

I'm still gathering parts but got all the major stuff. I think I'm going to bypass the EGR but leave everything hooked up for now. When I get everything together I'm going to try to install it and get it running in a 4 days

 

TURBO!!!

 

Turbo update : I installed the oil return in the oil pan today and got excited about welding and welded the downpipe the only problem is it's slightly off and it's touching the header does anybody know if this would be a problem well I need to start over

 

Well I don't think that the header and the downpipe will rub a hole in each other because they shouldn't move against each other so I won't worry about it

 

Id wrap it and that will atleast coushin it some. My down pipe just touched my frame and i wrapped it i think it will be fine... If it isnt its post turbo so oh well

 

I would guess it may depend on how much it's rubbing. Like @yota243 said, some heat wrap may minimize the rubbing
