Happy to hear back on the brakes. Stopping was always a little sketchy, especially towing with a heavy load. On a side note, that filter is massive wow!- blakpete91

Coming along great Wes! Glad I didn't go with a bigger turbo haha. Talk about tight fit.- blakpete91

Like Wes suggested, using a VPN service will allow you to connect to OB from work. I use NordVPN.- blakpete91

Those wiring schematics are very useful. My dad gave me one for this 88 when he passed it down to me. I've used it once and was glad I had it. Your attention to detail is spot on as always Wes! Just curious, will the wait to start light inside the cab still function with your wiring harness kit...- blakpete91

Guess this was one of those cases where the instruction book was not a "manufacturer recommendation". I was so excited to get this build going I forgot to give you all the papers that came with it. Sorry for any headaches this may have caused. Thanks for the updates wes!- blakpete91

Man that intake tube is massive! Great work as always Wes. Thanks for the update! Any turbo bigger than this one would really start to be a PITA with trying to make it fit around all the stock parts.- blakpete91

semi annually update: I ended up dropping my engine off with Wes at Classic Diesel Designs in San Antonio since I finally accepted I just don't have the time to work on my own stuff anymore due to work. Here are some update pictures he has been sending me. I'm pleased with the work he's done so...- blakpete91

Happy to hear I picked out a decent turbo. I'm not really shooting for any specific HP range, I'll be happy if she's on the same level as a stock 7.3 power stroke. My goal is just reliable truck that makes good clean power.- blakpete91
