Yep thought about bustin out the heat gun. Connectors should be here this week so no biggy.

Next up is the beautiful down pipes ! Hopefully, I can have them installed this week.

Those are pure sex. Got my answer from Geoff and you guys were correct. Hopefully I'll have a full race intercooler set up soon!

our year-end blowout sale is going on now until Dec 31 - one last opportunity to save on an intercooler or exhaust (until next november!)

you can cut the tube with a razor blade or I like to do the same as OEM and use a heat gun to soften the hose.. then the OEM fittings wiggle out

the intercooler itself will fit but the piping is different - you will need the 2013+ charge piping setup, with suitable BOV

+1 for a solid recommendation

I've seen your setup RB on another forum - sweet setup, looking forward to seeing the results of the new turbo's.

Let me know what you do to keep the cover, probably will go that route myself.
Thanks man!

Truck is scheduled for new Full Race BW turbos and some other Full Race parts at Jeff Evans tuning on January 4th. I look forward working with Jeff Evans this year trying out different things and getting the truck dialed in. I will post here as she comes together. Big thanks to Geoff at Full Race!!

Haha i hope its not too hard i have a shop dvd manual step by step instructions. The only thing that is confusing me is the coolant line how to disconnect them?

Those are the afe hot pipes...i really wanted the full race hot pipes i may still return the afe ones. Biggest thing about the afe pipes im not liking is the silicone couplers are 5mm bigger then the turbo outlet doesn't seem right to me
