Installed dp
Just got finished installing dp,,,,, it was 3 1/2 hours of frustration. I had lots of trouble getting the factory dp out,,,I should have removed tranny fill tube,, my first cut near turbo did not get the flange part off enough,,,,,, I got a few metal particles very fine particles in turbo housing from cut,,,,,,, I took all of the intake boots off and blew the turbo housing out real good with air and vacuumed it out at the same time. Was this the right thing to do? Please advise if I made a mistake.
It was definetely frustrating but from what I have read it sounds like it will be well worth the effort for a long time to come.

I was wondering if somebody would do it while installing their new dp. Im not about to go muscle my 3.5" SD dp off the turbo just to hear what my turbinator sounds like.

I saw where someone put three turbo's on and ran with a 6" long 90* pipe as the exhaust. No hood of course.
