The truck is heading to the tuner on Thursday. Finally... It's been a long and very tiring few weeks trying to get everything squared away and ready.

I was supposed to be at the dyno two weeks ago, but the night before I was scheduled, I took apart the charge piping just to make sure everything was buttoned up and found oil pooling in the intercooler

I traced the source to the turbo charger (not surprisingly) and found that not only had the threads in the intake side been stripped/stretched, but the impeller was broken. So off to STS it went and a new unit was sent back to me.

While the turbo was out of the picture, I went through the entire truck to make sure everything was ready. New O2 sensors, new plugs, rerouted a few vacuum lines, etc.

Now things are back in good shape and ready to go. I've got some base numbers to plug into the computer so we can get things moving and then start cranking out some pulls on the dyno. Let's just hope nothing else goes wrong...
