    I think you're truck would be badass with a single turbo over where you cleared out everything.

    Hey Pete, maybe you already know this, but be carefull with the engine cleaners & solvents around the rattle can paint...It's not like the factory baked on stuff.

    Don't ask me how I know.

    Yeah, I painted my steel front bumper, even cleared and wet sanded. Looked great until I spilled something on it. Can't remember what it was.

    cost? maybe $100 tops... split tubing, heat shrink, solder gun, paint, etc...

    time?... shit, probably 75 hours.

    thanks mike. nothing is "under" the intake, it's all behind the rails. all i really did was take the stock harness apart and did one thing at a time, keeping it as small as i could and worked my way back to the big who's your daddy bundle.

    very easy to do, unless you want to take that bundle that crosses your drivers side valve cover (and plugs into the PDC) and route it behind the brake booster. its almost long enough to reach. i had to lengthen the injector wires on the drivers side to get it how i wanted.

    i was able to turn 7 injectors around and point the plugs toward the manifold, i couldn't do it to the #1 cylinder because there's a post on the m1 that's in the way... if it ever comes off, i'll have it ground out. i could really hack up the connector on the injector, but i really didn't feel like doing that.

    let me know if you need any pointers... i cut and spliced almost every wire in the compartment, mostly due to relocating the pcm
