So when will this truck be done? A friend of mine is moving to Cali and Im gonna be riding his bike there for him (hes paying me and giving me a place to stay for a week). Might have to hit you up and check this thing out if I for sure go out there.

I like the idea of where the guages are but can you see them with your driving, and if you racing can you>?

yes you can see them quite easily.

I dont know If I would have put the boost there. Good idea. I like the setup, but it would be hard to see the boost while you are racing. My old GTP had a heads-up display. Now that would be cool to do for the guages. Looking real good. Cant wait to hear it run.

thats what this is for, electronic boost controller with real time boost readings:tup:

update. worked on truck today after i got my new intercooler from xspower. trimmed core support to fit, layed vacuum line around core support after i cleaned up the cutup support, makes it look alot cleaner. test fitted the intercooler, looks freaking awesome! installed turbo and tried various clocked positions but all positions suck for wastegate mounting bracket. oh well. steven is having the same problem with his, so i'll have him make me one as well. i decided to route my intercooler piping just like pete's(epix) as his project inspired me to pursue this. not alot of the core support had to be trimmed to my surprise. i will source the piping and silicone hoses and clamps. thanks pete for the help, this thing is going to be badass. pics will be loaded when i get home.

i want to get a piece of steel made to bolt up exactly where lower cche mounts and mount my tranny cooler and fab up new ps cooler.

Yeah and they would probably bust you for street racing and impound all 4 and crush them :tdown:

Your right, now that I look at it he should've got the big core and not the little wussy one, it's not like he didn't have anymore room to spare or anything, he could've just took the whole core support out and turned the I/C into the core support and built around it. Atleast that's what I would've done if it was mine

Yeah, if your custom built front mount isn't bigger than your radiator, you ain't $#!+. Just remember that.
