    Increasing PT pressure

    That is about what I paid and I think this is the same kit. My local guy had this in stock. I had to install in one piece after carefully getting the bolt spacing right by tapping them into each other. Barely cleared at the front. Mine fit tighter due to the ceramic.

    Increasing PT pressure

    I got the intake from the junkyard and cleaned it and powder coated it. The cooler was brand new in a rebuild kit with all new gaskets. I tried without luck to get exhaust manifolds from the junkyard. They all had issues (cracks etc.) so I bought new aftermarket manifolds for 1/4 the price...

    Increasing PT pressure

    Not a fan of BFH adjustments. Luckily, if you only install the front 2 of 3 lower bolts it can be installed at an angle and rotated into position. I used some permatex gasket goop to stick the gaskets to the block to ease the wrestling match. I had to install the cooler fully assembled. All the...

    Increasing PT pressure

    Thanks for sharing Jakelc15, much appreciated. Did you use 5" exhaust and an intercooler? I am saving for stainless while I fiddle with the cooling system. I am running my exhaust out back with a MBRP 9" diameter x 24" low restriction muffler likely over the rear axle. I have rivets where my...

I had to back out the screw on a few small iterations until I felt safer with the EGT's. I am hoping to get a turbo, 5 "exhaust, and the air filter from...

    Increasing PT pressure

    I had to make two tools to remove my PT. The upper rear bolt had a 7/16" 12 point, but I had to cut the open end off the wrench off to fit it. The lower rear was a 5/8" 6 point, but I needed a super short 12 point socket to get it in the pocket and get some rotation. I slotted the socket 1/4"...

    Increasing PT pressure

    I am pulling my PT today and will take it to a shop to flow test it on their bench. I have a 20 and a 22 button to try. I will never have a load on, just a few hundred pounds of camping gear and some chow. I will be watching the pyro closely though. I am happy with the dual fuel line mod, it...
