removing the manifold was the first things we read and he said he was going to try to do it with out removing the manifold

 

ah, well then best of luck, it's do-able, but i know why they say to take the manifold off now, the way the turbo is set up just doesn't match up very well trying to get the bolts tight, at least for me it didn't, i managed to get the bolts tight, but it sucked, and had to modify some wrenches to get it to work, but it did work

 

the intake looks like it sticks way out there , is that how all 3rd gen chargers are?

 

yeah pretty much, they're not as fun to change as the earlier model pickups, due to the lower/farther back set up, I had to modify my intake shroud a bit to get the HTT turbo to work too, it made the intercooler tube a little higher, of course that could've been from the spearco intercooler I put on the same day, i don't know, or a combination of the two

 

Remove the manifold. It's a PITA when you find out there isn't enough room to the new turbo into place. Also, the oil drain tube bolts won't be as easy to get to when you go to bolt it up. Probably gonna end up removing the plastic fender liner, and cutting all the exhaust hangers, and slide the whole system back.

 

I never cut any exhaust hangers, but i'm not saying it was fun to get everything into place

 

He loves the turbo , but its throwing over boost code?

He said he should of taken the manifold off because it was a major pita to get the turbo on , said he has 3 bolts in it and cannot get the 4th one but its not leaking

 

yeah the over boost code is due to the fact that he needs a boost fooler, or a programmer that incorporates the boost fooling ability, if i remember correctly he only has the superchips? I have the smarty and the quadzilla boost fooler on mine, and I've hit 48lbs of boost on the dyno, can hit 40-42 driving with the torque converter lock up switch, without the switch the highest it'll usually go is 38

I'd say take the manifold off and put that extra bolt in cause it'll start leaking eventually

 

how much is the boost fooler?

 

Any new numbers yet? Will he eventually switch to the smarty or some other tuner??
