installed 3 mods today!!!

i installed my up pipes,WW, and CCV mod. its like a new truck. no more ticking from my up pipes. and no more surge. the hardest thing was removing and reinstalling the inner fender well on the pass side. getting the turbo out not that bad. getting the clamp off the old y fitting was not ment to be. just use a sawzall. anyway i am very impressed the differecne the new up pipes made.

i was to busy stopping bleeding knuckles to take any pic. sorry about that. when i went for a ride afterward. thought i had blown it up. went to lay into it about 3 seconds after i hit the gas, a loud pop and then no power. said" not good". looked under the hood and found what clamp was not tight on the intercooler boots. haha

good job..ill bet you will see better MPG too.. why pull the inner fender well?? a long extension can reach the manifold bolts by slipping it between the inner fender and the top of the frame...or at least it does on my truck..

they were not coming off at all. looks like somebody had got to them before me. they were rounded so the socket would not grab. used a die grinder and air chisel to get them off.

Good deal Josh. Sometimes it takes a little extra to get things done, but it makes you feel better in the end.
