I know what you mean I want this thing done asap myself, miss driving it.
Should be very fun to drive especially when the new pump is ready.

If all goes well should have the truck running this weekend if I dont get many distractions. Lately I have had plenty of those. I am still waiting on a couple of parts needed to finish but they should be here by thurs at the latest.

I am using a pump and filter system under the truck, I am trying something different and will report on it after testing it out. I am still finishing it up right now, I have an aux tank (115 gallons) in addition to the factory tanks, that I am plumbing in also.

You are running stuff pretty damn close to what I am doing. I deleted my filter head, and my tubes are routed in a simliar fashion. Looks like your intake tube is headed to the passenger side though? Mine will head to the drivers side. Looks good man, we are going to have just about identical engines.

Im interested in hearing how the A3K responds, I wont have my truck running til a couple days after you so, Ill be watching for sure!

I decided I wanted a straighter run off the turbo to help keep the number of bends down alittle. Hope to have the cooler pipes welded up tomorrow sometime and move on to finishing tranny upgrades and fuel system.

Look'n good. Man that's coming along fast. I may have missed it, but what kind of intercooler are you using?

I LIKE IT! Did the intercooler have to be modified? Just wandering, want to put one on my 94.

There are several threads on here about Intercooler installations. Intercooler its self does not have to be modified but you do have to do some cutting on the sheetmetal to get it to work. You dont have to have a powerstroke cooler universals can be made to work to.

Thanks. I've seen threads about it.I read some that were cut down intercoolers. Just wanted to make sure.I know you have to make brackets on the truck. Thanks again. Looking forward to seeing your truck done.
