Is there a question here? You do have lots of mods and pending mods.

No the question is, was there any glairing mods missing without breaking the bank.
.... The pending list will not be gotten to until mid year if not next.
I seem to still have an oil leak even after new seals for the HPOP..... so the install time and $ will have to be used for other things.... New tranny :-)

If it were me I would install gauges. With the DP, even in 80 econo the EGTs will climb fast and high at WOT. A 4' down pipe would help with the EGTs. I would also install the OBA soon, out trucks start defueling at 22# boost. With the DP I would think you are getting more than that.


Just a few things I would do soon.

I havent really gotten up on it yet... well maybe once. as I didnt have a pyro gage installed. I realize how important it is.

The trans and bost are really low on the list. :-)

Take back the Big head actuator, and use the money to do tranny, and boost guages. do the ghetto spring mod($3.00) for the stock wastegate and you will be good.

Included in the turbo rebuild... he had the extra parts.
Im really hopeful about the new turbo once all the other parts are in.
I had thought about a 6.0 intercooler... but I heard it takes crisco and a shoe horn to get it in... that and Im unsure how much help it would be at part throttle ? Stop light to stop light fun?
