It's been way to long and I'd had forgotten how nice the truck drives.
The truck went from a N/A-auto to factory turbo-5sp and definetly made a difference in power.
A friend did the work changing this out, did a very nice job but with every major surgery a few thing pop up on the 20 mile drive home.
It got hotter than I'd like to see, not sure why.
The pump is suppose to be new, but who knows how it was timed. On the list of thing to do.
Injectors? who knows but it does have a bit of a miss and will probably be changed out just because.
It was dark last night so have no idea how much it smoked, I do know some came out in the headlights behind me but couldn't tell color and it didn't black anything out.
Intake is just open under the hood, haven't decided if the cowl induction is for me but some sort of fresh air is needed.
Exhaust is stock downpipe with the "dent" cut out and patched straight and patched into the stock N/A exhaust with stock muffler, not best but something for now.
Still need a boost and pyro.
I did notice that I couldn't hear the turbo on the way home, is this normal?
The above is just mostly babbling but it's nice to have my truck back.
