Well they are all in and wired. I was having trouble finding a un-used fuse in the box under teh hood that was only on when the ignition was on and I have problems with hacking into the wiring harness on a brand new truck so I improvised... Seeing as how the drivers side power outlet is only on when the ignition is it made a great place for power... If I deside its a pain I'll do somthing else....






My only question is where to mount the pyro... In Spot 1,2, or 3? I'm thinking 1 seeing as how #6 is the hottest... Also I think I'm gonna remove the exhaust manifold to drill and tap it. Seems like all the shavings are gonna fall right into the turbo and I wont be able to remove them. Does not look like it should be to hard to remove it but does anyone know the torque specs to put it back? THANKS!!!

 

Wow, the 06 is a bit different from some of the other 3rd gen's I've seen that close. But no matter. The fuse you want to tap for the keyed power is actually on the side of the dash drivers side. There should be a blank there. Next, without actually taking off the manifold (someone here has to know) I'm going to suggest that the pyro actually get installed below #2 on the "merged" portion. Alternately to that you can remove the stock elbow and tap it post turbo - same effect, different temps (lower).

hope that helps.

 

Here are some instructions. They should tell you everything you need to know. I used them and didn't have any problems.

Great pictures.

 

Thanks.

 

I think i might be able to drop the turbo off the manifold faster than I can take off the manifold. I am just PETRIFIED I'm gonna eat the turbo up... It's the way my luck goes.

 

If you want to drop the elbow and tap that you can with less issue than doing what is considered normal to most.

That said, you'll have different (lower) temps and so as long as you don't forget about that you'll be ok.

Cheers,

 

I put my thermocouple in spot 1. And i left the manifold and turbo in place. I put greese on the tap to help catch shavings and put a shop vac right next to the bit and when i finished i tried to suck as much out with the shop vac and also a small magnet. No problems after 45k miles.
