No progress has been made, but I did get a big dollar part purchased for it. Now I won't be as scared when I mash the skinny pedal!

Wait, I thought you had your engine all done, you have to tear it back down to install those ARP's? Head bolts?

We can swap out one at a time, I did that on my truck and it holds 50+psi and we are unsure of the miles on my engine.

Ryan, do you have any used 12V turbo's? I forget what number they are. Maybe even one that needs rebuilt.

The turbos are a HT60 (76mm) over a Super HX40 (60mm). I do have some pics I'll have to post back up.

Yes I do. They are either H1C's on early engines or HX35w's on later until CR's. I have a good used one and some that have some play but are still usable.

I can't wait to hear and see it in action. Have you thought any more on lettering your truck?

Not right now, but I know a guy that may have a pair. I'll call him and see what he'll want for them.

Honestly Bud, no I haven't. Since it's been outside, I have kind of not thought much about it. I'll think on it this weekend and get a hold of you.
