When I tried to get Ih8mud for my 55 they turned down my request.. I called and spoke to the women in charge and she said the approval committee thought it was degrading to anybody who had brown skin.... I had to laugh and promptly sent her a picture of myself my truck and a link to the MUD... See called back laughing and approved the tag

Update-
We are a couple days behind schedule, some fittings had to be ordered, water lines for the turbo, etc.
I am driving up to the shop tomorrow so hoping to see everything installed waiting for the lines and fittings to be overnighted and arrive Monday. The transmission guy had a family emergency. Would really like to see it done Tuesday or Wednesday but I would rather see it go long and be finished right.

Ok so went up to the shop and the orange in person did all the things I asked for; it surprised me, was really bright and made the turbo stand out, but it was a little too much for my sensibilities. So we are changing it up. The EMS guys rock, they humored me over 3 hours and coated like 4 different colors so I could see them. So out with the orange and in with the new.

Purple was brought up more than once by one of the guys in the shop. lol I thought about pink because of the humor of it but only you guys on mud would get it.
Everyone else would just think it was bad ass. Ill let you know the reactions I get
I love all the nice big money turbo goodies and then the $5 dollar Walmart air compressor filter for the catch can. 
My shop has a Pro-Vent oil separator sitting on the shelf I am tempted to try but not sure if I want to spend that kind of coin, plus the inlet and outlet are quite large and would have to be reduced.
Oh yeah, ATS uses purple compressor housings on their diesel turbos so I wouldn't go that route, be different!

Haha that was just something I threw on there while I was naturally aspirated to keep things clean after the rebuild. EMS is building a custom catch can . Good eye though. Lol

Coolant overflow done, only thing left to fabricate should be the oil catch can and then it's just a matter of hooking things up!

Thermostat housing, with weld on fitting for turbo inlet,
Upper water housing with weld on fitting for water return.
Water tube just cleaning things up it was a little ugly.
