I recall many moons ago, there was a guy on here talking about making a head gasket replacement video. After an extended period of time, still no video.... another guy jumped on the idea, made a video and I believe sold a blue million of them.

Lol, I don’t know. Kind of a catch 22. Gotta drum up the interest, but this kind of stuff happens.So are you saying I should stop talking about making a turbo kit?
I know for me.......
When he gets this to market, it will be right. If he says it take "x" hours to install....It will....Even for my slow azz.
Will it include EVERYTHING it needs? Yes.
This will be the place to get it because Joey take it to the Nth level to make it right. The other guys....not so much. They're a "Me Too" type that are climbing on the bandwagon and will eventually fall off.

That is the rational, logical plan. I don't know why we can't move in that direction.Lol, yeah. With 112, I think people saw the $$$ impact and voted on that more than hippy/safety/environmental concerns (plus John Elway told us to vote no). As for emissions, I have personally registered trucks in Park and Grand counties after a failing the test in my local jurisdiction, but the air quality here in the Denver metro is downright disgusting some days. This time around, I actually fixed up my truck to pass. I personally think they should hook it up to the sniffer and if it passes that, then who cares what equipment is on or off the truck. I know I'm probably in the minority in that sentiment for our chosen hobby

Sorry
Couldn’t you use alternative engine management and make it work? It would be a one off.

That is a project for someone else.
I bought my LC 3 months ago 4.2L Diesel 1HD Auto.
I observed its turbo pipe was dripping oil.
Get it checked and they said Turbo is done and need to be replaced or re-build.
I went for re-build option as it was 3 times cheaper than buying used turbo from junk yard.
For the first two weeks it gave blue smoke only when pushing accelerator quickly, but person who rebuilt turbo said its fine and it will be disappear shortly.
And yes it did. Now its working pretty fine.

Spent a few hours here at SEMA garage dropping off the ICON80 to start the CARB certification process. This will be its home for the next week why it runs thru the emissions dyno process to get the baseline numbers for the turbo 80.
There is light at the end of the tunnel!

I only see rollers for one axle. Is the truck you're using have a part-time kit? I know it doesn't affect emissions....just asking.

Front shaft coming off
Im guessing that dyno time costs a fair bit more than 50 bucks an hour lol. This all looks like a lot of work. Im sure the end product will be worth it.

Fingers Crossed that light is not a Check Engine Light.
I'm sure it will be the G-dly, you've made it, angels singing kinda light. What a clean facility.
