Turbo Build

[KLRpanda]

Heres a little bit of a update. Had to redo the intercooler bracket and mounting to the truck. I tried to make everything bolt in but after about 2 hrs of me drilling and still not happy with it I broke out the welder and welded the ***** to the frame. and it's solid as a rock now. Got my PTE waste gate in looks amazing I can't wait to get the truck running to try it out. I also ordered some 3" pipe from Columbia bends 6 - 90's and 45's and 180 bends along with some straights. also got some 4" pipe locally Holy Cow that was expensive "i'll order on line next time" but got my exhaust ran out of the engine bay anyway.. but one to the pictures.

Heres the back of the intercooler 1x1 11gauge square tubing "don't judge me I broke out the old flux welder for this one to see if it still worked lol"



Came home and the wife had this on the table



Directions



and the goodies





Turbo in it's permanent spot



Almost forgot Got me a new shop dog! Half English and Half Bull mastiff its a female so I'm not sure what I'm going to name her yet..



I'm going to be ordering my BOV soon and injectors and that'll be it besides tuning. Also great news on that, there's a shop less than a hour from me that Has and Can tune my truck with the turbo "We will see" but they just finished up a 392 Hemi with a 80mm Big single and it's still holding together and running good.so hopefully they can tune it for me! I'm starting to get excited

As for the Hot Side Here is just a bunch of pictures





This is the pipe coming down from the turbo

 

[WhiteExpress]

You came off the long tubes, turned it around to go forward and then up to the turbo?

yep! that's it. if the tuning goes good i'll spend the coin to buy turbo manifolds for the truck and do it the "Correct" Way. but this should let me get the info I need and see if it's tunable

Looking like a nice setup!

OoOoOo!!! Hemi with turbo. Need some updates. Was thinking about this when I bought mine. I'd love to add a turbo or supercharger some day.
