[QUOTE="JCT, post: 2026925, member: 58843"] As an update, I’ve gotten her running again. The first start up was nerve racking. I made my wife watch for oil, coolant, or fuel leaks. All good on that front. I did struggle some with getting all of the plumbing secure again. The passenger side hot side pipe blew off twice before I took the Aquanet to it. I’ve now put ~20 miles of playful driving on it without blowing a coupler off. My foot hasn’t made it to the floor yet, but I can already tell that there is a whole new level of power. It has been raining all day, and there have been a couple of occasions when all four tires broke loose under 1/2 - 3/4 throttle at 40 mph. She definitely didn’t do that with stock turbos / injections. Goose’s trans tune is amazing. Must less jumpy and jittery than MPT. The shifting now feels a lot like the shifting in my GLS63. Firm, but not jittery like it is looking for another hit of ****. I’ve got the wheel liners back in, but I haven’t yet had the confidence to put the fender flairs and all of the skid plates back on. The exhaust note is deeper, and there is less resonance than with stock manifolds and turbos. I’ve got SPD downpipes, the trombone and a stock muffler. Sounds very similar to Goose’s. I’m expecting the SPD HX muffler with the Helmholtz resonator this week. Will update everyone. Over all, very happy I decided to take apart a relatively new truck and rebuild it the way that I like it. Hoping it is dry tomorrow so that I can start the tuning process with Goose. [/QUOTE]
