Nick how much $$$ for the garrett?
around 3 times the price of an S500 LOL Trent sure has done pretty damn good for a "budget build" eh?

what else can you get thats 95mm for 1700 bucks
Where is the Y bridge? is it turned around and I just didnt see it?
dont have it in yet Simon , it is at a buddies getting a 3" pipe welded to it .
Man that turbo is big
Plenty of room , I could fir 3.5 - 4 " pipe if i wanted too .
I liked the way the tubing layed out in my head setup that way plus i had never seen it , it also made it so there was a lot less sharp bends, also with the cold pipe on the drivers side it doesn't have to pass all the piping that holds heat ( hot pipe , second turbo , charge pipe , ect ) after intercooling , it will pass it all before the intercooler this way so ? , there should be plenty of room , if not i don't have to change a thing to flip it back to normal .
Plus Gillet Diesel has a "Hybrid" named the "Phat Bastard Killer " I believe it flows 170 lbs per minute
it is a drop in replacement for the S500 that is alot bigger than this one , i will be swapping too it once I have some more $$ , I didn't have the coin to start out with it from the get .

$$$$$$ biggest bang for the buck, 1/2 the price of a garrett. Trent, no airfilter?

Who needs an air filter?
i do! i wouldnt want to suck small children, birds, small animals into the turbo
:thumb: Lookin Killa buddy! The green machines gonna scream!
Only sucky part of the S series turbos....they are some HEAVY bastards:rofl: Good lord my S472 weighs a ton! I bet that S500 is insane heavy! Cast iron monsters:spit:

I am going to have a 5" "tube" going out through the headlight area and will have a mouth piece of some sort ( decorative ) ,then in the front of the mouth piece i will have a fine mesh screen is all , and then make a sealed cover to put over it for when its parked or in transport . I could get a 90 on there if i cut the bend tight but were its a race only truck I would rather suck air from outside then under hood air if i can.
Ha ya , i had to fab it by myself
I had to break out the over head hoist to hold it up , but I also mounted it with a t-6 inlet flange that has a mount tab so i can pull the turbo and leave the exhaust in and out all hooked up , by just removing the exhaust housing v-band and slipping the turbo out !
