i would not want my turbo sitting there like that....

That air filter will need to be cleaned once a week. What if he takes that off road? that turbo will not last long

He sells that as a kit too, wonder how many he sells with the Exhaust feeding the turbo welded to the same pipe that the outlet of the compressor goes to...smart thinkin.

it would need cleaned everyday if that were my truck.

but that truck makes no sense. for the money he just put into it he could've had a duramax which is 10x the truck.

I love the elbow going into the throttle body being a sharp 90* bend/weld, that will certainly help airflow huh?

f- that noise; how about supercharger mounted in the bed? how about all of the accessories mounted along with it?

in the article he said he knew the PTE shaft would be seeing some serious stress, so he reduced the shaft RPM to half engine speed, and then sped it back up off the other end of the shaft. fucking awesome.

I think I have that issue lying around here somewhere. I love the unique builds like that.

Sumone explain sumthin to me......... I always thought that the oil feed line went into the top of the turbo and the return had to be a "gravity fed" to the oil pan cuz its not pressurized..... i only mention this cuz in one of the truck pics, i see the return line going up. im confused, help me.

There's a pump mounted after the turbo that pumps oil back to the engine. Just like the STS kits.
