I have a 4" exhaust from Jardaine and a Warpspeed 3" mandrel bend crossover pipe. So breathing shouldn't be an issue. The issue I think is more with the Heath GL4 chip... Not complaining, but it is set for max power instead of a towing tune like the Heath Max-E-Torque. Not many people run...

I like that! Keep Brucifying it works! And thanks for the adjustment info, I'll tinker some more tomorrow night to cool the PSI down a bit.

RaceDayMechanic: How did you adjust the wastegate on the HX40II? True, I could have moved the battery... But honestly, I am not the best fabricator. LOL I do like the quality of your relocation though! Plus when complete on mine I want it to look stock... Then it may leave a few people...

Driving Impressions!!! (keep in mind I am still set at 20 PSI stock out of the box boost) ... Damn, this thing is much faster! Especially at speed, like a 60-70 roll on. The biggest plus is there is no longer a "barrier" at 65 MPH that the GM-8 had when cruising. I always attributed this...

All 0/1, except three runs which were 4 gauge (starter, ground on pass side fender, and power to the under hood fuse box). I added two grounds to the frame as well. So two grounds to the block like stock, plus two grounds to the main frame rails below the engine. Again all 0/1 gauge. Even...

OMG time for addition... Materials List: Turbo $280 http://www.ebay.com/itm/120854427128?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Downpipe and Oil Fitting from RaceDayMechanic $120 Air Intake Parts from SiliconeIntakes.com $115 (FWIW RaceDayMechanic says he can provide as well for...

The downpipe is from RaceDayMechanic. Highly recommended, one of the few things I could actually bolt on straight away without any modification :) Thanks! The boost nipple wasn't that bad. The wastegate machining was horrible! They left a lot of junk metal on that area. Granted a...

Pictures!!! http://s844.photobucket.com/albums/ab9/apillowtype2/Suburban%20Install/ http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab9/apillowtype2/Suburban%20Install/362.jpg For some reason I cannot get the links to work as a pop up picture. Invalid URL my butt! I took some video, but on my...

Yesterdays efforts were very time consuming... The side terminal battery connections hit the 4" 90 air intake hose, so I purchased a new pair of batteries with top post mounts. IF you use a 4"-3" 90 degree fitting off the turbo inlet, I do not think you will have a problem with a factory...

Racedaymechanics intake fit like a glove!!! And his oil line adapter fitting. A great value IMO and makes this conversion possible. If it were not for his parts I would have never started this project.

IT'S ALIVE!!!... as of 2:00AM last night, but I was too lazy to post at that point. The sound of the turbo spool is ridiculous! I think it will suck in flying birds a quarter mile up in the sky. Granted this is with no air filter yet and just a quick unloaded goosing. The only part left...

THIS!!! Go ahead wares whoring is ok here, we wont ban you ;) ... I just gave them a little over $100 myself earlier this week. LOL FWIW I will produce a complete parts list like Car Craft when complete. Issue of the moment: the outlet pipe from the turbo to the intake manifold is...

All parts arrived... One of the silicone 90 degree connectors is 45 degrees from siliconeintakes.com so they are sending out a new one today. Bad mistake, but good customer service to make it right. The turbo of course is cheapish with some of the tapped areas needing cleaned with a...

I agree that it is too early to tell... Also no one has done a back to back HX40II to ATT comparison that I am aware of. Most of this is relative to the GM-X turbos that have been replaced from stock. IMO a turbo upgrade is only needed when increasing boost over stock and adding a...

One last question that I do not think has been addressed... The oil drain hose. Can the stock GM-X drain be reused or is a custom drain need to be made? ... All the parts will be here in the next couple of days! :)

That sucks! So young... Damn cancer.

FWIW, I rarely visit DP anymore... But they seem to have an active 6.2 board which is good look at every once in a while. The censoring of the ATT discussions on DP is pathetic a real loss for the 6.5 community! Once the drama of the split happened, I was done with DP. It really hasn't...

Same here. And I fill with 8 quarts. IIRC doesn't the 6.5 have a 7500 mile recommended change interval for standard driving? FWIW the wifes 06 Escalade with the computer recommended oil change interval usually comes out around 7500 on plain dino juice. The Jetta TDI I just sold with...

I just measured the OD and ID of the stock GM-8 intake and exhaust and here is what I found. Exhaust ID: a hair larger than 2.5" Exhaust OD: 4", but because of the V-band landing bulge Intake ID: 2.75" Intake OD: 3" ... I was surprised to see that the stock GM-8 Ex ID is only 2.5"! That...

Nicely done!!! I really like that the T3 flange matches as well as the intake manifold snorkel (for lack of a better term). Makes the installation look close to stock... Minus the blue hoses of course :) ? Did you have to move the air intake box? Or was that more of a personal preference...
