Gentlemen, I took BigBlue into Joe350's shop in Concord California and drove away with.....

RAM AIR POWA!!!!!!!!!!!!

MUCH MUCH LOVE (not in a gay way) AND PROPS TO BIG JOE THREE FIDY!!!!!!!!! He possesses MAD CRAZY diesel skills AND all around rig skills!

and yes, no different in performance around town but BIG difference on freeway!!!!!!!!!!

As far as performance so far, the downpipe has made the most dramatic difference in power gain.

As far as the labor goes, its not so much a hard job, just very time consuming. You must be patient. Oh, and yes, IMPOSSIBLE without Sawsall and angle grinder.

Here are a couple of pics





and oh ya, 3Fidy gets first dibs on my factory Turbo

 

Project Ram Air continued:

Joe3Fidy had a funnel idea, so I made one. I used some aluminum from Home Depot,duct tape, and placed in a screen to keep the buggers out of my motor



and I took a sawsall to the grill and cut all 6 of the thingies out. I sanded and painted inside and you cant even tell!! And you barely even see the funnel inside!
