No seats were ordered Rocky. I ordered a seat BELT from a salvage yard. The passenger seat belt is fraded almost in half and has to be replaced. For the cc I had a hard time finding one, they are different then most, I was told.

As far as the FTE resonator mentioned above, I got a reply form them:

"You can do both, with our without a muffler there will be no performance
loss either way compared to what you currently have.

If you intend to remove cab noise with our product, install it as close to
the fron of the truck as possible. This will give you maximum effect on cab
comfort."

I emailed him back and he said that both ends are flared out, all you have to do is cut a section out and put it in with clamps or weld it. I think I might order it !!

In all settings the best I can do is 35psi boost. Maybe its my tuning or maybe my boost gauge line or gauge. I do think that I don't have any IC or exhaust leaks. It runs strong though, good enough for a ticket.

Last couple I've got I asked for a court date to plead my case. I got out of both of them, the first one just had to pay court costs and if I had no violations for a year it would never appear on my record. That was fine with me just so my insurance company didn't find out. The second on was a few years later in another county and it worked the same except the no violations part was just 6 months. Ya just never know when your luck is going to run out though.

There was no getting out of that one Rich! When the cop walked up to the door I was laughing. "You got me on that one". He asked me what I was doing and I said that it took me three months to put in a turbo and I was testing it out. At 82mph? Yea, I got carried away. He was really cool for a cop, young guy and he was just BSing with me. I thought I was going to get off with a warning but he came back from his car and said he would give me a break. A new AZ law says "waste of finite resources 55 mph zone" and he reduced it to 65 mph. I don't understand it but its $80 vs $220 and there are no points, no insurance notification. My phone rang and I was not going to answer it but he said, go ahead and get it. He joked around that my wife was checking up on me and I said that she ordered a pizza and wanted me to go get it. He laughed and told me I better go. LOL

Bill, don't take me keys, I'll be good. I haven't had a ticket in ten or fifteen years, that counts, doesn't it, LOL
