Never a good idea to run a forced induction vehicle of any kind without the highest octane possible.Probably discussed before; Will premium gas be a requirement for the kit?
Thanks.

PTP turbo just called and said the blankets will be ready in about four weeks and they are sending me the sample of the CT-26 turbo blanket for the turbo I sent them a couple months ago. I’ll be adding these to the site pretty soon as well

@Willy beamin with the pan off, why not tig a return bung on? Not that the drill/tap isnt sufficient, just curious.
Im not that fancy
So, with the pan on, just change oil to remove metal shavings?
Getting to that spot and doing what needs to be done with the pan in the truck is not going to be pleasant. I would pull the pan. Most of them leak at the rear arch in any event and this is a good excuse to fix that.

NOOOOOOOO
You MUST remove the lower pan. The upper pan does NOT require removal but, as CDAN mentioned, its a good opportunity for the rear arch seal. With lower pan removed, after drilling, you should use carb clean or brake cleen to spray out the inside of the area to let the shavings roll down. Then use a cloth to remove the shavings.
Sorry to be “that guy”, but removing the upper pan is an absolute pain. I don’t know if having a pro install this part might be a better alternative for some folks, but if you’re not a regular wrencher, do not take this pan removal job lightly. You have to lift the motor up an inch or two off the mounts (which takes an engine lift) along with a mixture of other suspension gymnastics, to get that mother out.
