If he gets it going this year he might hit boost next year 
..but I'm sure he's just using any old turbo at the moment just for a mock up because we all know that the t3 flange offers alot of option .

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

Workmanship is awesome as usual man. Might be a stoopid question but what if anything is being used as a seal on the pod filter airboxes you've been making up?

Thanks
Don't use any sealant!!!! Just very flat surfaces and lots of cap screws 
It might seep a tiny bit but I don't think it'll be an issue.Re: Tomsoffroad & Customs
