Got my aluminized exhaust bends ordered, custom copper header gaskets from mandrel bends, and 6xxx series cold side pipe.

Need to get 38mm tial wastegates, and a bunch of small parts.

I'm gonna be using the factory 10 row intercoooler and two stand alone air to water coolers with single 7" fans on each.

All couplers will be red to match the stock fx4 look along with the turbonetics color scheme.

Badass doesn't even begin to describe it. Phenomenally insane is more appropriate.

Working on the suspension today, new oem upper control arms, bushings, and ball joints. They were only 40 more than the dorman stuff, so I went oem.

May throw on the intake and plenum and bolt it down. Also need to install engine and ttanny dipstick tubes, have plugs in there now.

Big thanks to all you guys for helping/encouraging me on this build. Without you all, I would have never tried this. I'm with Charlie in that i feel like i personally know you all and appreciate everything.

As for Todd, how much you want for that charger ?

Only thing I don't like is the oem control arms. No zerk fittings. I prefer greasable joints like moog.

and hell yeah on the support! I certainly wouldn't be trying anything like throwing on a blower without y'alls help. The jury is still out whether y'alls influence is positive or meant to bankrupt me! LOL.

Sincerely,
Your F150 family.
