labor?? labor is the cost of cases of beer for you and the buddies... its easy enough to tackle yourself... except for the manifold construction. thats easy too, unless you dont have the resources.

yea a turbo is smaller than the novi. unless your running a big rig turbo

yea i would just stick it on the passenger side. run the drivers exhaust over the intake or the bellhousing if you have room between the firewall (havent looked yet) no need for cats. OBD II is just a CEL test. i would go 3" turbo back to your muffler.... single only! and if you get a wideband you can just snag an o2 simulator and not worry about that whole exhaust portion. than from turbo forward its just your everyday tetris game with pipes and couplers. weve got plenty of room for a FMIC maybe convert to 2 12" spal fans with high cfm to suck some air through it.... and a cryo spray bar for your I/C!!

aww man. not even my truck and im getting all excited.

you could even do this setup if you did electric fans...



both side exhaust mani's run round to the front and up to the input exhaust for the turbo...than just a big 3" comes out the side and down the passenger side of the truck. that way you can run your factory kiddies..sorry, cats, before the turbo and still achieve emissions standards and be able to have good boost flow

and considering ford engineers designed our engines and the top end is almost similar to a mustang (which this kit is for) it would be a walk in the park

keep it under 8-9 psi and you wont need to change any internals.

Richie has been doing this to his jeep, and just got his block back on Tuesday. He can tell Frenchy all about it, lol. Its a project that is taking a couple of months.

Well, if anything, I'd be doing it, like stated in February... and truck will still be on storage insurance...

I have, and could go a few more months without the truck, for a quality build...
