Be sure to swap out the little bypass hose that attaches to the top of the WP. It's a ***** to get to but you'll have everything apart anyways

That took two guys when I did it. One to squeeze the clamp on top and one to pull it off. PITA

I'd look it over REALLY good before using it again. It should be just fine but with as much work as it is to get to, you can't be too careful lol

flexalite black magic 180. comes with everything you need. thats what i ran for a few yrs. flows 3300cfm. and your truck will rev a bit quicker and free up a couple ponies. got a bunch of stuff in the garage for a big dual efan upgrade for mine. making my own shroud and stuff. boost makes more heat.
