This is before we got the truck dialed in. we made 447hp and 800tq on tune 1 And 553 hp 9xx tq on tune 3 when the dyno rpm pick up broke and ended the day before we tried the other tunes. This turbo has won over 20 pulls this year!

Wasn't able to get the turbo on this weekend. Dyno shop ran out of time and couldn't squeeze me in for a pre-install run. Really fighting the down pipe bolts as well, broke a standard 12mm wrench and my flex-head ratcheting wrench in the process. Not a single bolt/nut broke loose. Soaked them with penetrating oil every day for the past week hoping that would help...it didn't.
HEAT! LOts of heat ,i used a 3/8 drive swivel head breaker bar rachet also ,Thats right! i said 3/8 drive not half inch ,the one with a plastic handle made by craftsman,if needed i used a pipe on that for more leverage and i got them all off no problem.
Did you have to take the heat shield off the down pipe first? Wrench with a cheater on it was all I could fit back there...I couldn't get a ratchet or breaker bar with a socket on it.
I haven't. Gotta get it on the dyno first so I can get my baseline charts for comparison.
