Well I was working on building harnesses in the middle of the night and needed to breakup the monotony so decided to throw another turbo on the truck, it was my eventual goal to do this after upgrading the stock turbo first, but figured with how difficult that its been to try and get onto the dyno I should come out swinging! This is not how it will sit eventually, but its how it came together in four hours in the middle of the night, had a few hangups since I didnt have the correct oil feed flange for the turbo, so had to tap the bearing housing for 1/8" and didnt have a 3 to 3.5" straight boot so had to double up on boots, but it works really well already. This is a t4 journal bearing with a cast 98mm compressor and an 88mm turbine with a 1.05 AR housing, feeding right into the very high mileage stock factory turbo, with the custom outlet flange and wastegate delete. So far it will more than fully circle the 35 lbs boost gauge, I'd say its close to 50 psi of boost right now. Its kinda terrifying to drive with how the suspension is hurting, but it makes a pretty good flame out the stack at night.

Way to go wes. That's badass. I know it's been mentioned before and your a manual guy but that thing would be nasty with a built 4r100/e4od with an aftermarket controller

Not with that clutch lol. I'd love to see it break the record and what it do at the track
That truck already blew me away and impressed the hell outta me at the track during the dino and shine day at the track, this will definitely get better on the spring gathering! Now about that South bend clutch,....

It ran pretty strong when Wes was providing me with taxi service when we pulled the engine on Raylan!

I’ve got a 13” 400hp clutch from south bend ready to go in, I plan to install it right before the dyno to get some breakin miles but have the best chance of holding the power at the dyno, it’s still got two kits of nitrous that haven’t been used, just as is it is you can drag the brakes in third and get the big turbo spooled slightly and do rolling burnouts for as long as you keep it in the throttle. If the southbend doesn’t hold the power I’m going to just put a single turbo back on this truck and save the gt45 for the race truck and run it through the auto. It makes 30 psi by 2000 rpms now and just blows through the clutch in the higher gears.
