Thumbs up Riffraff's new part installed

Just got Clay's AIH delete w/ boost hookup installed. Nice fit and great finish. Lost light before I snapped a pic but will get one tomorrow if time permits. Took truck down the street on 80E and the boost jumped up to 24 right before it shifted up haven't driven it long enogh to see what lbs are at normal speeds. It reads about 2-3 lbs at idle, is that right? Anyway thanks again Clay, you are the man.

Good to hear! Waiting for pics. At idle you shouldn't really see any boost, from my experience. But we can wait and see what happens in the daylight.

The new shiny parts for the AIH delete are pretty neat. So I'm going to ask, why would I want to delete the intake heater? Even if it's not necessary, what's to gain from removing it?

A tad more air flow, and a place to hook up your boost line....

...and it gets rid of some more unnecessary wiring under there, making it a bit more neat.

Not to steal your thunder, but.....

I installed mine into my nasty greasy truck tonight:



Don't mind the dirty nastiness around it.

Looks like I'll be needing a job to afford to buy parts from you to keep you working.

Like I said in my other post. The apartment managers won't turn on the water till this weekend and unfortunately, it is booked up so I guess the following weekend will be the time to knock it out. Has been long overdue but untill I joined this website, Iwas afraid of damaging a sensor while washing the engine. no more worries though.
