Just fitting the down pipe and installing the left side trans dipstick tube away from firing it up on my LB7. Has taken me a little more time than I'd planned, had a baby two weeks ago and haven't had the drive to be out in the garage tinkering...
Borg Warner doesn't have the turbine housings really available to run them on a diesel yet, so High Tech Turbo is making their own T3 gated stainless housings to fit. It is a very cool turbo from what I've seen. Uses a ball bearing cartridge that is water cooled and they use gamma-ti turbine wheels which are super light, so rotating weight is down improving spool up. Borg also has some cool options in them like a built in blowoff valve in the compressor housing and it's pre tapped for a shaft speed sensor and some stuff for better gate control.
I'm using the standard HTT T3 mount kit, just had to make a few modifications to make everything fit due to the difference in this turbo from a the turbo that is usually used with the kit. I'm excited to get it on the street though...just wish I had some rods and more fuel so I could really push it. This uses a 68mm compressor, so I'm sure it would support 700hp pretty easily...I've only got the fuel/tuning for around 550hp, but I'm very interested in it's drivability at this level...
