Hey johny, how do you support the downpipe or exhaust before the front cat? The factory y pipe has that support that bolts to the side of the tranny. But that gets cut off when you install your down pipe and reattach to the factory exhaust. Just curious? Thanks Wes

Hey Wes, kinda depends what all is going on haha seems like every truck is different that we've done installs on but one solution that we have used with great success is attach a rubber square block hanger with rod to the first body mount with an M10 nut and bolt in one of the existing holes below the body mount and then attach it to the exhaust pre cat. I'll add a photo on Monday but here's what I'm talking about. Available at most auto stores

Hit 39 degrees here in Denver this morning. The dense air definitely gave it a bit more oomph when merging onto the highway! Too bad it's not that cool all the time.

When does the install happen? Won't have that problem after!
Not until after my wheeling season is over. I’m hoping for January-February.

Well guys it's Colorado bound...the 1st obd1 Turbo!
Will it be on the stock ECU? or paired with a standalone to control the engine?

Looking forward to getting to work on this project! It’s going to be a fun build!
Just artived! Blank canvas for the obd1 candidate. Hopefully all pieces will play nice together.
Go buck wild!
Wonder how this runs agains the 1HDFT/H151. We can try to drag race when you get it back... I just upgraded the fuel pin, so I think I can be a match.
Please be aware:
I shipped my 80 to Colorado last week using Xpress Auto and to let folks know that Transport fees have VERY little difference in real price from one shipper to another. Those ULTRA LOW prices are just BAIT and SWITCH. They lure you in, get you to agree to a non-refundable deposit to trap you and then raise the price in the last minutes. This happend to me.

Just to add to this, my exhaust is pretty solid with no support by the downpipe. I got a 90ish welded in front of the first cat and it is connected with the supplied vband to the downpipe. my muffler guy did add a support down by the muffler on the driver side in case the bellow/flex joint would have caused it to move around a bit more but currently its not going anywhere!
Also Johnny thanks again for taking a look this morning, should have new cats on by the end of the week so I can start ripping around...stupid CARB state....grumble, grumble grumble!
oh and obligatory turbo pic:
