Biggest lie ever told on mud

I get 27 mpg. There ya go

No you really don’t want to put the MAF in a bend we already looked at that.

A single custom piece from the air cleaner top straight to a 90 to the inlet, with the MAF in the middle, would be tits.

No, MAF in the straight part, before the bend.

No, MAF in the straight part, before the bend.

The MAF’s location is unchanged from stock

 

[scottryana]

Are you saying take the lid of the air cleaner apart? Create a new custom piece that would have to be welded back into the lid? If so beyond the scope of "bolt on" turbo kit. But yes could be done.

BTW @DylanICON Im really sorry about ruining your custom exhaust hanger. He served well. But a new OEM one is betterer

Yep. that was tried. Won't fit without cutting and modifying the lid. Which again takes this out of bolt on range.

Bolt-on is way different than cut-to-fit and paint-to-match. Two totally different approaches.

 

[NLXTACY]

Yup. That was the original plan. Not possible without a very custom piece or cutting and welding by the end user. DOA.

Exactly. If this was built just for me or a customer sure. But as a end user product it’s a no go.

Gotta leave some fun for the ones that like to tinker

Just a thought, since I don't know anything about turbos except that I NEED one, a long time ago there was an Mud-induced OCD scare regarding the oil pressure relief valves. How they were little known and a potential threat, etc. etc. So there are two of these (with associated spring): one on the oil pump and, I believe, one on the oil cooler.

Should this be offered at a California-sized mark up on the Wit's End site or included in the kit???

Already planned for

Because I can’t trust you guys to do anything right, I’m now supplying the 11/64” centering punch for the oil drain fitting

Did you harden those rods yourself, or did you get help?

Nothing a fireplace, bucket of oil and an oven won't solve

What I want to know is if you have got them laser etched yet?
