How are you LB7 guys getting the Y-Bridge in position with the compressor housing in place? I have tried every which way and cannot get it in? A Cummins is looking really good right now
the one i did was a cali-bridge and i had to take a dremel and massage the flange a little to get it to fit, and clock the comp cover. then i had them both loose and wiggled them around. this was with the PPE pedistal and spacer.
Paint on mine if I take off the intake horn, I can just pull my y-bridge right out an back in, but I'm only running a single turbo. It's kinda close but no worries, :thumb:
You still have your turbo in the valley?
I know man i wish someone had a remote mount kit available i'd buy it in a heart beat
holy hell you weren't working... that looks great talk about 30 minute turbo swaps

ya im sure with a GT37 it fits alright
lol, I can't help that's your's is big than mine..:rofl:
Nick your telling me that you still don't have that truck running. It will be winter before you make a run with that turbo.
It already ran i drove it for a few days until i got a giant leak at the cam journal plug just fixed that and i was trying to put it all back together but the LB7 bridge isn't working with the turbo. the elbow on it won't allow me to fit the race cover on and i can't get the y-bridge in place with the race cover on... so now what do i do?
Shorter bridge or remove turbo install bridge reinstall turbo or just send the S475 to me and I will run it for you along with a biggier brother like Trents PBT
i'd rather shoot myself in the face with a shotgun then pull this turbo off again... i swear man why didn't anyone tell me these things require SERIOUS custom modification? I had no idea it would be like this kinda discouraging. It would have been easier to just buy twins as now im gonna have to have another custom passenger side boost tube made more time and money
I think someone did tell you to do a bridge when doing the turbo to save time and be easier lol nothing is easy on are trucks if that's how you want it buy a Dodge but there not much better to work on.
