Adding on to this...

Ordered a Garrett gt5541r billet 106mm charger the other day along with a partial twin kit I'm going to try and utilize on my truck. Originally was just going to redo the plumbing with my current s500sx 98mm charger but couldn't pass up on the new stuff...

Also just ordered a van thermostat housing, coolant hose and 3 new 149" Gates serpentine belts so i can reroute it to clear the thermostat housing. Belts were $34 each from Rock Auto with $9 total shipping. I've never had a spare belt and figured 2 spares would be a good idea.

I'm excited to see how the engine bay cleans up after the new stuff.

Here's a little back story for anyone who is interested. I kind of skipped ALOT of stuff since May when I last posted.

Was running 72/88 compounds utilizing a borg s472 and turbonetics 88mm.

Sold the turbonetics and picked up a borg s500sx 88mm and swapped it on.





Then got a polished housing.



Ran that setup for about 2 weeks and then had both chargers reworked. S472 went to a billet s475 and s588sx went to a billet 98mm.





Yada yada yada got some bigger cp3's and injectors, clicked off some 10 second passes and now the season is over and here I am once again changing things up.

Hoping to have it finished up in about 2 weeks.

I called every dealer in Utah and found only 1 not to far from my house that has 1 in stock in all of utah. Lucky me i guess but they want $165 for it.

Ask if they will price match or give you a break in price. Dealers around here will work with a guy

I asked them on the phone if they had any better price or if they could price match gmpartsdirect and he said "nope". I'll ask again in person. I need it so i have pretty much no choice.
