I have a all inclusive 41 page build with updated videos for anyone interested. I have about 2 years and 3 months into this build.

Thank you for chiming in. You have done some amazing work.

Needs a much better tune and gear change. Plus need to check IAT's at 30psi and various other things. It will be ready for a 1/4 by Fall.

Gas mileage is really dependant on how I drive. Prolly 8-14 highway. I have a trans controller so I can run 70mph running 1500 rpm with plenty of pull. Town I would say is around 6. I have no clue these are estimations based on my 105# injectors.

Thanks, yeah it has definately been a project for the whole family and a long expensive one. Was it worth it? To me, for sure. Taught myself a bunch and my daugther got to tighten the last bolt on the turbo.
