07-15-09 Update - Turbos hit the Road Again

Good Afternoon All,

Well, it looks like the turbo's are back on the road again.

Last time they had over 2,000 miles on them before we ever started the truck
and it looks like they are going to get a few more.

Turbo are off the truck and ready to get packed up and shipped to Rockford Racecraft.
The good news is this time it's just the Exhaust Housings.

Here's a good picture of Josh with his hands in the sandblasting cabinet.

Yep, you guessed it the Turbo Housings & Wastegates are being stripped.

Since we change the theme / color combination of the engine compartment.
The housings need to be Hi-Temp coated in black.

Can't wait to see them all put back together.

Having been raised in Rockford it is nice to see something good come from that area.

The turbos look fantastic in black.

Good Evening All,

Sorry I have busy at work and haven't had much free time for posting updates.
Not to worry I spent the last hour setting up the next 12 posts.

Just Checking to see what the door panels look like on the truck.

Man that's a whole-lotta Autometer.

Trust me they look awesome when they are all on.

Quick shot of the graphics.
Bob Thrash & the guy's at Kenny Davis Hot Rods went above and beyond with there attention to details.

Good Morning All,

Yep, another post back to back.

The motor is back together and the headers are all brushed and look awesome.
I want to thank Race Proven Motors for setting us up with the primary's and Stainless works for all of the tubing.

But in the end the Credit goes to Dave at Comp Fab for building the final headers.

I'm much happier with the look of the exhaust now.

Can't forget Kenny from Kenny Davis Hot Rods. He is the one with the mad brushing skills
http://www.kdhotrods.com

and the guy's at Rockford Racecraft, they did all of the High Temp Coating on the Exhaust housings.

Switching to the Power Steering pump from DSE has real cleaned up this area of the engine compartment.
Now I am going to have to clean up the frame -- can you say dusty.

Marty,

Looks bitchen !!! One problem though. You need some hardline on those turbo feeds. Just food for thought. Not that I would'nt notice something like that. LOL !!
