Pretty much. I can swap wheels in just under 2 hours. That includes driving the pickup in the garage, getting my tools laid out, doing the swap, pressure testing, and putting the tools away. Whats really funny is I can remove a downpipe in 5 minutes, haha.:roflmao:
It helps a TON having little girl hands to reach up and under that turbo compressor cover, haha.
When are you going to bring down that LBZ? I've got an LBZ turbo I think you'd like thats been modified!!! :woott:

If you're serious and use your pickup for some towing we could try work something out. I'd like to get a few out there to see how they perform.

Hey Russell are you porting down inside the compressor cover at all? And did you sand the ouside of the cover smooth? how did you get the rough ass casting so smooth?
I go down as far as I can reach. The Garrett covers are really easy being they're not nearly as rough as the IHI's. On an IHI or S300/400 I first grind them with flap wheel. I then use liquid compound for my polishing compound.

I'm assuming you're referring to this one I put on social media?
Is it an IHI or Garrett?

Haha yea wow russ. we pulled his cover and I used a sanding drum attached to a cordless drill. It took it down smoother but left some deep gouges on the surface. I've finally made it to 320 wet sanding. Think I'm going to stop there since it's getting paint anyways.
i bet so how many times have you taken one out now? lol
Here is my wheel Russell. I need to start my own thread.
