      thanks guys!

      yes the pickup has about 8 gallons of bedliner on it, lol

      starts fine without the grids, i usually have it plugged in at home though. started in fargo at 0* without problems though. I dont have my timing advance much so that helps as does keeping the stock compression ratio

      and all my stuff is old, cheap, and slow..... truth

        Big thanks to Dave H! (again)

        he got me a new turbo my hands in a week! great, just great

        I traded my 64/68/14 for a new 66/73/.91 from dave

        i felt i just needed some more turbine on the primary because drive pressure stayed nice and around 1:1 until i started adding fuel then it made a nice uphill

        with the new turbo I cant imagine it working any better, boost is instant, and it builds and holds 53psi of boost with 54psi of drive pressure. Moves out very nicely, and it tows like a N14 now

        I cannot get it to surge no matter what i try, I should of done this much sooner

        here you can see the difference in the 68 and 73 turbine, the 73 looks much easier flowing, with a clip cast or cut into it

        also i had to change the hotpipe up some for a T4 flange, i got an extended flange and man that was slick for making an easy to remove and install brace. I feel it turned out fantastic

            Very cool! Do you have any dyno sheets from the old setup? It would be cool to dyno it now and compare. 😄

              yeah never any dyno beforeit is alot hotter now with the bigger pump though so it really isnt fairbut i do know that if i had done just the twins and nothing else it would of brought about an extra 300ftlbs in WAY sooner

                          You need to open a diesel shop over there in oil country and take all of the oil riggers money....

                            X2 For real. That would be a lucrative place to put a performance shop at the moment.

                                so i still had the original balljoints in this thing, and i am not going to rid of it ever so i decided to stick some good stuff in there

                                yes probably the most boring $700 worth of parts, but they sure are beefy

                                big enough that i could not install them with my ball joint press

                                and you can even rebuild these without removing them

                                very nice quality IMO

                                  Update, I just changed the intake up. The rubber was bothering me

                                  It is a AFE pro dry filter, 5" plumbing

                                  It whistled loud before, probably too much now
