Yeah, don't think my wife had any clue how many evenings and weekends would be spent in the shop working on the truck getting everything done to it. I'm getting down to the wire, but it's getting done, I'm back out in the shop tonight putting the turbo on, and all the connections on that side, installing the drive shafts, and hooking up the fuel lines hopefully if time permits. I need to pull the battery and take it back to walmart and get it exchanged tomorrow as it's deader than a door nail and only a year old.

Once I get those three things done, just need to fab up the intake side of the plumbing, build the transmission mount, hook up the trans shifter, and fab up a 4x4 shifter for it.


Question, for a single turbo system, is it worth it to plumb the external wastegate back into the exhaust system or just let it vent to the air?
