I had some pictures of my turbo kit that I thought I would share.
if you ever have the motor out of your truck, before you pull it, mark areas of the firewall that are close to the motor. Then when the motor is out, TAKE A SLEDGE HAMMER TO IT!!! You will thank me later.
I cut the pinch weld on the bottom of the cab up to just before the two pieces of sheet metal split (don't cut thru the cab, just the pinch weld)near the passenger side simply to aid in my bending of the seam for more clearance.
I then beat the area above the pinch weld for clearance of the downpipe. I also suggest new s&b body mounts to help get the truck back to factory height for more clearance. I also beat in the firewall near the pinch weld at the drivers foot well for clearance to the head/manifold.
When clearancing the firewall, when you think you have done too much, beat it in more!
This statement applies to all turbo kits
I then used dei trans and tunnel sheild with adhesive backing for firewall insulation. it is expensive, but worth it. It has a aluminum dimpled surface, and insulation while being very thin, and dei heat tape over the seams.
