Well, got the new turbo in couple weeks ago. Got everything put back together today, it was a very nice day today too to be working in my storage unit. Sounds sweet, has a that nice turbo spool at idle.:finger:

Heres a few vids. Sorry for the crappy cell phone camera quality, but you get the idea.

Turbo is a Garrett T04E 1.00 A/R Turbine, .70 A/R compressor.

I modified a shorty header for the drivers side to a 2.5" 3 bolt flange. Ran a crossover over from that under the transmission then into the log header I built. Then that feeds the turbo. Straight through 3" turbo back exhaust gets it all out.

For the intercooler, the turbo is clocked so the outlet faces down. Piping runs over the sway bar into the intercooler, then back up the other side into the airhat.

Motor is pretty mild. 4BBl, 52mm F&B, Felpro head gaskets, Mopar head bolts, Mopar valve springs. I want to see how far I can get the truck with stock heads and cam. Im trying for low 12s on the stock stuff.

Should be doable, especially in a GenII, I ran 12.1's on the stock heads/cam in a heavy ass GenIII. :biggthumpup:

Most folks usually split rooms, go in with a few other people and it's not bad. Some folks have slept in their trucks at Nats, some just sleep in the lobby LOL Get out there and I'm sure we can find somewhere for ya to crash :)
