If he gets it going this year he might hit boost next year

Hi Tom, are you doing anything with the fuel to run the increased boost ? Does it have the TE pump ?

The screamer pipe will be optional, just about finished making the return into the exhaust.
Don't think I've ever heard a diesel with a screamer pipe

Re: Tomsoffroad & Customs
Found an hour today so finished the waste gate plumbing and bolted the manifold back in so I can carry on with the rest of the plumbing
Even with the turbo mounted high as, its still tight. Anyways its coming together.
