It's a 1984, I used the 2 1/6 " autometer gauges so theyre snug but fit.Eric, your install gave me the inspiration I needed to gat started.
After seeing the engine compartment of Lostmarbles I started cleaning up here and there.

Moe, there is two about 3/8" hose each side of the throttle body, instead of using tierap they supplied i got some hose clamps tridon. Thats to avoid the hose to pop out due to pressure.
I'm going to have to clean mine, winter project, but i use my rig the wheel so 2-3 rides and it all going to be brown again.

U mean AR and all that? I sorta argued with Turboglide because they advertised one thing and sent me another. However, after reading the info on mud, not to mention Turboglides logical explaination, ie: spooling at certain RPM's, size of engine and such, I was satisfied. Still have to give her the bench and the road test. Oh yea, a lot of what I read was people arguing over this and that, which I thought was good info. Totally different points of view coming to a pretty close conclusion.
Nice Writeup on install and gauges Need more pics of the overall rig though
Need more pics of the overall rig thoughso they give u the other size and it not the same what u order??
lucky u was get the power turbo, i get order the turbo, they give me the fake turbo, then different size too, then i use for half and hours, already finish, the shaft is burn everything cant use, need fix again , then he only change me the original part, then cost me can buy 3 turbo already or one and half ballbearing turbo... now i gonna order dirrect from garrett distributor for better insurance

How they explained it to me was, the one they advertised for the 3B was way too large and would not spool up at a low enough RPM. So what I thought I was supposta get would have been the wrong size turbo. Sorry to hear u had so much trouble with your set up.

Eric, old man winter has reared it's ugly head. When they break out the salt trucks, I put the LC in the garage for the winter. If we get a dry peroid i will take her out for a spin. I have a temporary exaust system and am putting some final touches on the air filter. I'll post up some pic's soon.

looks kick ass. one thing i would suggest is that you stay away from that nylon tubing for liquid pressures. If that s*** breaks you will have one hell of a mess. The copper tubing is harder to work with, but i think its a better long term way to go about it.
congrats on the new turbo.

Thanks Purple
Funny u should mention the oil pres. line. This young man at NAPA pointed out the same thing.He said he'd never run an oil line into the cab. I get the point and you've got me thinking how else to do this or take your chances and go copper.

Still getting some things together. I used the old exaust to make a temp. exaust system. The flex hose is cheep and leaks pleanty of exaust fumes. This should get me to the pipe shop no problem.

I took the muffler out of the system. When I started her it didn't sound any different so when spring comes I'll go with a straight pipe.

Thanks to Eleblanc I was able to figure out how to get the stock air box to work. I hate to butcher stock parts but had to in this case. A little cut and weld and it's all over. It just makes everything come together right. Anyway, once you go turbo, you never go back. right..
