Have any of you guys seen this video series? This guy has 17 videos on putting a turbo on a 2003 with a 5.4 in it. I will have to sift through it deeper when I have more time. This just popped in my feed today...

White, I have been watching them for a month or so. Looks like a lot more work than just throwing on an m112 but it is definitely cool.

A Lightning blower would be the way I'd go, but that's certainly a cool/unique build.

White, haven't looked at the install yet but will now. There's an episode of Roadkill where they pick up the turbo off of a diesel F350 from salvage yard, rebuilt it and put it on I don't remember what but it worked great. They did put the turbo on a gasoline engine.

I spent some time today showing some kids some of the basics of tuning a chassis and suspension and I use this PDF written by Mario Hirz at the Graz University of Technology and thought some of you might like it and find it helpful. You can contact Mario if something grabs your attention and you have any questions. He doesn't mind. I like how short and concise it is.

jprevat,

Yes sir. I went and looked it up but now that Motor Trend owns the TV channel Roadkill is on you have to subscribe to Motortrend to watch it. They offer a free trial service if anyone is interested:

https://www.motortrendondemand.com/d...un/0_2pcnmybu/

EDIT: IIRC or maybe you do, seems they spent next to nothing to get this done. For some reason I seem to remember it being said that the biggest single expense they had was from having to buy a new waste gate. ????

Just my opinion but I'm getting burned out on everyone wanting everyone to "subscribe" so they can use everyone for marketing. Recently saw a interview with a former Google big shot that has just written a book about how pernicious this has become and how everyone is the now the commodity that is bought, sold and traded for marketing on the internet. He said back in the 90's the thought of this happening never entered their minds and how now everyone has thrown out the idealistic goals they started with because of the money involved.

EDIT: Didn't realize Mario's email wasn't on the PDF. It's up on my trucks "options" on my profile. Didn't want to leave it in the open for the email hunters.
