Agreed however I was on a very short time frame and thought I would do it when I pulled the transmission to put the rebuilt one in.

Well I need your guys help and advice on this I’m seriously considering going t4 while installing the motor. But my question is how difficult would it be to do with the engine in the truck. I’d honestly rather wait a month after install to know everything is working out correctly before I drop that much more cash on turbo and mount. All advice welcome and thank you in advance.

Yeah that is the route I’m seriously considering going the engine has good compression ran fine prior to pulling from parts truck. Just honestly getting little nervous spending that much money at once before making sure it’s all gonna work out.

I’m horrible about second guessing myself or worrying to be honest. I need to make decision soon though need to get engine in soon as possible. Any and all input still welcome.

Well the more I thought about it the more it made me decide to just wait little longer do t4 and go ahead and do the injectors I want. And I was ruffly adding what I have in this build so far that was a shocking number. Guess not really I knew ruffly just didn’t know fully till now oh well.
