I plan on making a new cross over pipe later and having it ceramic coated, kind of hard to clean up the inside of an old pipe to get it coated.

makes sense. is the inside of your up-pipe and exhaust housing and manis c-coated, or just the outside?

Basically my truck sat all winter until now and my metering valve is sticking in the pump. I am working at getting it freed up and get the timing set so I can take it for a drive and start seating in the rings.

I want my truck to grow up and be like yours! All jokes aside, your dedication with this project really shows. Looks great and sure it will perform as expected. Wish I could ride shotgun when you take her out!

Well I finally got the metering valve freed up enough to get it started again, will treat the fuel tomorrow and run some atf thru the pump then take it out and start breaking it in.

Turbo is very responsive with just light reving in the shop, should be interesting to see how it acts with just a turbo cal pump on it. The motor runs so smooth after having everything balanced in the engine.

That turbo whistle sounds pretty nice! Can't wait to see what you hit for boost with that thing. Don't forget some videos of you driving by and stuff...
