well i finally got the snuffy installed, and what a pain it was, very long hours were put into this. it wasent the turbo, but the IC pipeing and the down pipe fabing that had to be done, and trying to keep the AC lines on was the biggest obsticle yet.

the manifold i got was a t4 from ATS, it was blank and needed to be ported and drilled and tapped for fitment to be possible, then put together. i couldent belive they wanted more money for a manifold you basically had to build your self.........
anyway after the manifold was complete the turbo was pre clocked and fit pretty well, with the exception of being so heavy it was no problem. it fit on the manifold like a charm.

now the rest was very stressfull, as i was only sent a exhaust ring i had to make it work, wewent thru a few ideas between me, rob , and james and finnally got it right today. it was all 5" from the turbo all the way back, and the fire wall is right in the way, along with the AC lines and batterey box. ect

i called intakehoses.com and got the IC piping i needed, just a few cuts here and there and i was in bussiness.

but im still trying to figure out how to get a filter on this thing, or at least get it vented away from the charger---theres no room at all, just an alternator, like 5 inches away.........

i'll take a few pictures and show you guy what im talking about.

i started it up and all is good, sounds WAYYYYYYYYY cool, even at just 1500rpm turbo is whistleing very nicely, and the truck has throttle responce that is faster than before, and hardly any smoke. i will drive it on monday or tuesday, and see if it was worth it all...... let me get some pics for you!:rockwoot:
 
Pics are worth 1,000 words. .......or in your case, peace. :hehe:
 
I'll try to send you a pic tomorrow of mine with the single 74. As you said, the 5'' downpipe and intercooler connection was a hold up on mine as well.. I'm still waiting on my exhaust to get here, so for now it's a 5'' downpipe connected to a 4'' exhaust..

What is this turbo??? Big single? Wade calls it the snuffer......who makes it?:pop:
 
Mine's different.. I had forced inductions build mine.. I'll let him tell you what his is. I'll take mine on a test drive tomorrow for the first time with the new combo.. It may work, it may not.. We'll see.. I hope it works...
 
Is this forced induction's own design? I heard about those guys. What can they do with a silver bullet, if you know? do they have a website? thanks.:pop:
 
They do have a website.. I can't remember the exact address.. I don't know much about them.. I just had an idea of what I wanted, and they were up to building it for me.. If it doesn't work, it's my own fault.. If it does work, it's a lucky guess.. I don't really know what all they can do.. You could call and see.. They were easy to deal with..
 
I think DP was referring to the word "snuffer" generally not being associated with the word "turbo"

Are you saying you want to take on a Colburn Race Engine there Wade? :poke:

accually it's the name II gave it, for those that have to know..........
 
To snuff usually means to put out???????????? As in extinguish....
 
Well guys, I had FI custom make my turbo.. Snuffer sounds OK to me, though I would choose another name.. I may call mine something similar with a better sales pitch.. I can picture it now.. "THE FLUFFER", the only turbo gauranteed to give you wood.. I could sell them and make millions.. :woohoo:
 
Yea I figured I was going to read about an apparatus that gut the airflow thus shutting down the truck.
