haha yeah im workin!!! lol. started at 6pm till 12am last night and i swear it took longer to get the down pipe out than to loosen then damn bolts! brain swore we could get it out in one peice but what a bitch.
right now we are tweaking the a/c lines and gettin ready to drop the trubo in. I put the turbo drain on teh valve cover which was really easy and didnt have to pull the top cover. jsut used grease on the bit and cleaned it off right before it went through, no metal inside from what i can see. Ill get the pics i got up tonight and what we all did. id like to make a more detailed install instructions for trent cause damn did i learn alot that they didnt say lol

yeah. its not too bad, jsut time consuming.
Well everything has come to a hault. My intake to the y-bridge seems to be much different than what trents was so the intercooler tube wont fit...... no bueno
Yeah, your 02 has the turn on the bridge. The 01 is straight. You can probably cut it and make it work.
I enjoyed playing junglegym on your front bumper James, almost reminded me of my turbo swap... :rofl::rofl:
Where are your pics of the install???

2.2mb is takin too long on the phone internet. ill get them all up tonight. tryin to get most of the stuff finished up today so all i gotta do is drop the tube in, load a tune and go play
thanks man! she aint gunna knock me down. i left ya a message, i think i can rework the intercooler tube so i till work for the truck. that way it gives ya time to get the other pipe to powder (if that works for you) jsut call me when you get a chance. otherwise all i have left is to mount the exhaust, relocate the shock tabs, tighten up the loose ends, rework that intercooler tube and start her up!
btw brian, you best not be tellin everyone that trubo in your avatar is yours lol though that twin trubo sticker is "sick bro!!!" :rofl:
i just got my downpipe unbolted and next is to take the starter out and drill then time to put everythign off. Hows urs going?? its pouring here and im workin in a tent which stillhas a few leaks seems to always be drippin down the back of my pants
It's a PITA, just used a sawzall to make it faster and since there was no use for it after the install.
You can dent the firewall a little. Pull the front pipe out then use a piece of round stock to put on top the downpipe and beat it out with a hammer. Works well.
IIRC, we pulled it up above the turbo or as high as we could get it, then cut the top portion and flange off. One cut and it slid right out.
Update: Just have to get the shock hoops in and mount the exhaust and tie everything up! i wound up cuttin the ntercooler tube and made it work for the time being, came out pretty damn good though.
to get it out, take the trans dip stick out and rip the insilation out behind it (will be in the way for the new mount that goes on there). from there you have to jsut work it out toward the side. it only comes out one way and a bit of force (not a bunch though). its tight for sure
