Turbo install job in Albuquerque, trade for ammo

I recently got my house broken into and all my long guns stolen. Welcome to freakin' Albuquerque, right?

Well anyway, I am left with a lot of .22, .30-06, and 12-gauge ammo and no way to use any of it. I need to take inventory, but I'd estimate a thousand of .22, 500 of .30-06, and hundreds of 12-gauge.

I have a 94 F-250 IDI and a nearly complete ATS 093 kit that I haven't been able to find the time to get installed. I also need a few things fabbed, like a crossover pipe and a downpipe.

If you're in the area and think we could strike some sort of a deal, your work for my ammo, please contact me.

I can do the turbo. I've got all the tools. I'd have to look at the piece you need fabbed to see about that one. Do you have a picture of what you need?

Sure do. Here you go. The two pipes I need are circled in red and blue. I have the flanges for the crossover pipe.

Alternatively, I do already have a downpipe, but it's been cut in half (very cleanly). It could be welded back together, but I'm not nearly a good enough welder to do so.

I have a buddy that's an FTE member that is a great welder. Let me check with him tomorrow.

Do you have a coupler to connect the downpipe to the exhaust?

I don't think I do, but we could probably reuse the flanges from the factory exhaust downpipe from the exhaust manifolds to the actual exhaust -- it will need to be removed anyway for the turbo install.

Talked to my buddy today and he doesn't think he can fab the parts. I could do the rest but the fab is a no-go. Sorry.

Were those pieces not in the kit?

Nope, since it's a used kit.

So what happened here? Get the kit installed? Do you still have the .22 ammo? What kind is it and how much do you want for it?

powerstrkr, I'm sorry but for some reason I never saw your reply to this thread. The truck, kit, and ammo are all gone. Driving a 6.0 now...
