Wow dude. Very impressive.
I believe you are near me. Are you in the Hope View tract?
X2Oh shit how did I miss the thread?
Too cool [emoji106]

I’d go the other way...the cold side piping is like 14 feet long. This, combined relatively small intercooler, would keep temps out of the low boost (8-ish psi?) that you’ll be generating.
Plus it won’t cause as much pressure loss, methinks.
These rear mount turbo setups fascinate me. I don’t race from a stop, ever.
But having loads of torque output by simply flexing my ankle on the highway/from a roll sounds wonderful.

So small update... dealing with some oil drain issues.
I've done couple of rear mounts and fixed a couple. Make a sump box connected to turbo drain. 3X5 and hook pump return in the sump. Cool project.
Curious how you will get around smog requirements in CA with the turbo setup?
I have the same drive train in an 02 CCLB, will be doing these stainless headers and adding the tap shift option to the drive selector when I get back home from working out of town.

Thanks for sharing your build, very interested in seeing the results of your turbo install. Will you be tuning it yourself? Any other mods to the engine planned?
There are some intake mods that can be done to really help increase airflow. There is a shop in AZ that will do the mods for $850+ shipping.
"Intake, PVC, and Throttle body mods are $850.00 plus shipping both ways. I,unlike others, work not just on total manifold airflow, but runner equalization too. You wouldn't believe how far off the stock runner balance is. Stainless Works has the longest tube and 3 different O.D. of the pipes available too for different load applications. 623-877-8553 (shop) Timm"
I was having a weird issue where the car would stumble randomly. I originally thought it was the fuel pump. It took all of an hour to tilt the bed and swap the pump. I opted to put a bigger one JUST IN CASE I got the itch to do anything motor wise. Unfortunately that wasnt the problem, it turned out to be the crankshaft position sensor. Grabbed a new one and tossed it in (actually not tossed, its a HUGE pain in the ass to do on a 8.1l engine and has a tendency to break in half... luckily mine came out in one piece after some cuss words)
also did spark plugs, wires, and new heat shields for wires.

Uhhhhh...... What in the holy hell is going on in the picture, and how is the bed flexing like that around the tail light?
Any updates on this project?
If they are not spoken for and you don’t otherwise have plans I would be interested in your old rims when the time comes, for my old square body Dooley.I received a missing adapter for the new larger drain. Was going to grab a turbowerx pump but I think I am just going to send it as is. I’ll be picking this back up soon.
also going to ditch the plastic bedliner and do a spray in. Waiting for my appt. on the lookout for some 22”wheels as well.
Look kind cool... but I'm assuming you are going to trim that up a bit for clearance issues?
