Yep -- mine's up over the brake booster, too. Never had a drip from the end of the hose in nearly two years. Mine runs to the rear axle by the exhaust, so no noticeable smells at all. I do see a little cloud coming out of the passenger wheel well area sometimes. Tells me it's doing its job...

Nothing to see really, just no more red line going to the wastegate and a shorter actuator rod.

I just disconnected mine and plugged on the the I/C boot clamp's threaded rod right there by the spider. Made a noticeable difference. Just watch for surge! Mine surged with the stock wheel badly when I did that. WW fixed it, but it's all moot now -- van turbo has no wastegate, and with the stock wheel & ATS housing, it ROCKS!!

What will happen when it surges? Whats WW that fixed it? I just finished plowing some driveways, time for some free mods! I'll take pics of the wastegate mod now, hopefully I will be back soon

Only time I see any smoke from mine is when Ive been idling. Ive even had a few folks at a rest area run to me and tell me my truck was smoking a little from under the cab. When I idle and go in reverse I can see the actual smoke, but otherwise I cant really see any from the cab. I dont think the smell is all that bad, but maybe Im just weird.

Yes. I've read that there are some o-rings to make sure that they are in good shape and don't fall out of the doghouse.

Is that an under the dash type of gauge pod?

Sent you a link from Guzzles home page, all the info you need, great guy. Instead of plugging that little hole, take that piece off and i can send you a piece of 4 inch SS pipe to put in there, let me know, it will look and work better.

The gauges came out nice though, need paint and one more gauge!

I doubt I'm going to now. The way it's working right now, I don't need it. There's "enough" whistle in there for me the way it is. It's already bugging the wife & daughter, so I imagine the WW will really be obnoxious. LMAO!! Besides, I'm interested in BOOSHT not, whistle. Well, MORE interested in boost anyway.
