I was wondering if there was any update on this or any pics of the install. I am thinking about buying a ppe 42 install kit and a s400 class turbo. Any suggestions or tips would be great. Thabks
Truck has sold. He ended up with an S366 though.

I was thinking about that one. I guess I dont need a wastegate to run the s366? An will the 42 kit still work?

FWIW I put together my whole s472 kit for around $1400. Including turbo and install kit.

Used parts help a lot. Things like the pedestal and downpipe and oil lines can be bought used easily. I waited a long time before I found the deal on a turbo I wanted. I also saved a chunk of change by making a reducer that allowed me to use my stock IC pipe.

Yea I am thinking about just buying one of the ppe install kits. And I have 3in intercooler pipes and have the left hand. So I think buying a kit would be my best bet and I like how the downpipe on the ppe kit will just clamp on my mbrp exhaust like the downpipe I got now
