It's not too bad to install turbos on this truck. Especially since they are dropping right into the stock locations. I would do the swap but work is slammed at the moment. I will post up results and my other surprise parts when they are all done. Good luck with install. If you need any help shoot me a PM and I will give you my cell phone.
Also AFE hot pipes are kind of known for boost leaks. Have you opened them up? Make sure no damage has occurred during shipping. That was the other big complaint I know of.

What's with this app.
Trying to show pics of my ported manifolds and the Walbro 450 pump installation for you guys. If anyone has any questions about the Walbro I've had mine on now 3 weeks and it's about a 1-3 hour job depending if you have some good direction. I'm here so PM me if you have any questions. More than happy to help

thanks for the vote of confidence - It means a lot to hear from customers like you who run our parts hard and love them enough to come back for turbos
yes please do the install thread! I would be happy to help answer any questions as they arise, you can email me directly geoff[at]full-race[dot]com. I have not worked with 5star yet, but it appears they have some experience tuning these turbos and may be able to put together a solid basemap. I also have a customer Very happy with his MPT tune on these turbos at the moment. Some great options to be certain
The easiest/fastest way to disconnect the coolant line is to use a small metal "pick tool" and lift the spring clip out of the groove. It may be tricky at first, and dont lose the clip, but you can get the hang of it and save a bit of time
hey ryan, i am excited for this setup also! some really exciting builds coming together in the next month - you and ducatti will have almost identical configs, just different octane fuel and different state. great comparisons
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!!

Geoff, here is a picture of my stock turbo it looks like a plastic piece and no clip, where my new turbos have the metal clip. This is what is confusing me a bit
#817
please take a closer look, to see if it is a rubber grommet - you should be able to lift it up and access the spring clip below!

Update on my install, went to my local ford dealer to pick up all the gaskets and new spark plugs and coolant. My quote was $700 canadian !!! I can order everything on Tasca for a third of the price, from the U.S.... so ordering soon install will be later then i thought.
