Dang Fish Bait, you knocked it all out like a champ! Congrats and enjoy!

When you get around to the coolant get a Gates 22433 upper hose. It goes around the serpentine belt so ya don't need to remove the hose to remove the belt.

@RacinJasonWV @FordTruckNoob Check this thread. Using the Ranger valve plus plumbing the into the correct HVAC vacuum line gives 100% max AC when you switch to Max AC, and also lets you blend the temps on normal AC. Works great, like it was OEM.

I recognize most of the stuff, but I'm nosy and still learning. Left to right, back to front,
  • Coozie (shouldn't be empty)
  • RiffRaff CAC boots
  • What's in bag in front of clamps? looks like a plug from here
  • Boot clamps
  • Plenum reinforcement in clear bags in front of clamps?
  • RiffRaff 6637 kit
  • Hydra
  • Up-pipes and collector
  • Not sure what's leaning against the Donaldson box
  • Turbo Pedestal with EBPV delete
  • Not sure what's in bag beside/behind the pedestal?
  • Obviously an overgrown snail that's been listening to too much heavy metal.
    • Which KC Turbo did you go with?

My questions are in the list, but here they are again for clarity.

1) What's in the bag infront of the CAC boots, I don't recognize that at all.
2) What's leaning against the Donaldson box to the right side?
3) What's to the right of the turbo pedestal?
4) Which turbo did you pick?
1. It is a plug from riffraff to go where the intake air heater was, and a it has a smaller threaded hole in it for a boost gauge
2. It is a mount for the Donaldson filter, that I didn’t use. I don’t like the way that whole intake air set up went in, looks sloppy.
3. The 🐌 is the new 4” intake boot that came with the turbo.
4. KC 300x 63/68 - .84 A/R

I really considered doing the top coolant hose while I I was in there but, the guy I bought it from had just installed new belts and hoses at the beginning of this year. I will fo sho be looking at the heater hose mod before long. My wife has already made the “Damn Ford AC” comment.
