Build looks good man :thumb:

Looking damn good Coco!

Going to sucks when a rod comes flying through that pretty new block!!:roflmao: Looks sexy as hell though!
Don't saaaayyyy that!
But thanks!

Looks really good!!!

I want to see some finished product pics with the tires on!! Your truck sounds deathly in that video

Very clean install!

I would like to hear it, driving it would be better but I would settle for a ride... :D
What is the current file extension?
PM me your ph # or email...
I don't know what you mean?
"current file extension"
:eek:

Didn't I read somewhere that you used a DHD cast Y-bridge? If so I would like to see that
No, I got mine before Tony was making the cast version, it's mandrel 3" tigged aluminum pipe with a rolled bead on the coupler end.

Looks clean as fawk Jason! Good job:thumb:

Video worked fine on my iMac. :D

Looks great Jason! She sure is quiet!

Couldn't watch but man, it's obvious you paid attn to detail & cleanliness on things going back together! Looks better than new!!

:woott:she sure sounds good. very clean...super jealous of that

Who did your rear sliding glass?
.... Chevrolet?
Pretty sure it's a factory option for my year...
It's an LT3, you either get heated solid rear glass or a slider...

Everything looks great man! Clean clean.:thumb:

Too clean Jason, you need to spill some oil in there. Lol. Good job.
:eek:
No oil please:D

What turbo did you end up getting?
I wound up with the Danville Performance Stg2 3794va
:thumb:

I wanted to say THANK YOU ALL!!
For the compliments and encouragement. I appreciate the kind words and I appreciate that y'all take notice of the pile 'o' parts and the effort I put into this install and set up on my truck...

I've already put 180mi on the truck
:woott:

And I gotta say...
I believe the DP stg2 3794va is THE VGT to have, hands down the best VGT I've had, it's the 4th VGT I've had on this truck now...
Stock
4094
VGT72
And now stg2 3794va...

The 72 was awesome, but IMO, not a perfect performance fit for the Dmax...for me anyways.

Anyways, it was starting to drizzle here in the Pacific Northwet, but I took a quick vid while I was moving some things to our new house... The cab was loaded up with crap and you'll hear it clanking around
:spit:

But you'll also see my speedo and tach freak out after each shift @ about 2600+rpm
;)
Tunes are not optimized yet, I'm still running TCM and ECM tuning for the 72
Tune 4, never got much past 1/2 throttle and backing out to "maintain"

Looks really good

Thanks
Someday I hope to be able to break them free on dry pavement like that, like you can
:angel:

But then I wonder...
WTF will I do when it rains? And my small tune puts down more than my bigger tunes do now:confused:

Move, maybe?
:spit:

Driving it in the rain makes ya really pay attention to foot control.

Hot CoCoal...I has been great watching the progress on your truck, very informative. Where do you find the time :thumb:. Your wife must be as patient as mine. I try to follow as many N.W. members as I can. Hopefully we will cross paths someday since I'm just outside of Spokane.
