Is this the same?

Paying someone 1100 miles away through Craigslist, and through Paypal requires too much trust for me I guess.
What are the advantages of the SCT 90mm? Really worth the extra $200?

I believe its the same as the listing. Not sure about the SCT except everything SCT is badass! If it were a lil closer to me I'd go by and get it for you but its 2 1/2 hrs away. Just trying to help you out however I can.

I used the oem lightning 90mm maf for a year and had to ditch it. To upgrade i had to retune when i cranked up the boost. Stock 90mm will peg at around 450hp and blow up your engine. Id recommend a used sct ba2600 off lr. That will support a ton of power and leave some room for upgrades in the future.

Keep an eye out for cheap used L parts if you can.
What kind of stuff did you need to complete your parts list?

What kind of stuff did you need to complete your parts list? If you need a cheap and high quality heat exchanger this is the best deal out there. It will crush iat temps. Stock ones usually sell for 2 300$ and aren't dual core or come with fans

I'd love to do the L charger, but looking at all these additional costs has my rear end puckered up! LOL

So a yes on the SCT maf.


And what are the names of these two items. They got damaged and I need to know replacement info.
One is a snap in plug for a sensor maybe. It's only one wire and loops back around on itself. Located on the passenger rear of the Intake. Looks like just a ground.
The other is a up-pipe coming off the back of the intake.

And my friend came over and we went over the list.

Officially broken items list:
Throttle cable bracket
Fuel Rail
3 coils
Accufab throttle body
Egr valve
Passenger side sensor ground?
Coolant up-pipe

Talked to ups rep. Helpful and will be sending out a rep Monday to inspect the damage. Apparently regardless of my insurance, anything that was damaged will get replaced

First is a ground and all 5.4 have two of them. Look for them on your truck. You'll see. Second is the coolant elbow that bends back to the heater box.
