well everyone,

after 2 days of working, i finally have the truck back on the road. 1 day to tear down the truck and 1 day to install everything. the biggest PITA was taking off the starter and drilling an tapping the oil pan for the oil return line from the turbo. the truck runs awesome and i cant wait to turn it loose once i get the turbo broke in. ill get some pics up tomorrow when i get home from work.

Awesome!! Hopefully Ill be up and running soon with these too....

ok now some bothersome questions :D

Are there any instructions included for installing the kit? Is there a parts list? Do you have any pictures that you took of the install? I bought a used kit so thats why Im kinda lost right now...

They do come with install instructions, but I can't remember for sure if there's a parts list. There aren't a whole lot of parts for the kit though. What do you think is missing? Is this the kit off Chad's LLY?

Yes, this is chad's LLY kit. I thought his was an early non-wastegated kit, but this one has a purrrdyy blue big Tial wastegate...

Are the instructions complicated? How many pages?

IIRC, Nathan tried something a little different on Chad's. He put the wastegate prior to the small charger off of the EGR outlet of the feedpipe......trying to improve the kit. The brass fittings on the intercooler pipe are what he used to control overall boost.
