kingbrad yes truck is an automatic with a Suncoast triple disk TC with a 1400 RPM stall. and it already smokes like a locomotive when i take off from a stop so like you said i should be alright with spool up. and yeah my egts are threw the roof right now so i kinda had to start pushin more air and what better way than with compounds!

Well your automatic may be different but mine is more responsive now. And it was kinda a PITA for the bracket deal. Also if your planning on running drive pressure, take that into effect when assembling these things. I'm in that boat as an afterthought now . Both of the bottom plugs in the manifold are more or less hidden by the 475 and I really don't feel like disassembling it or drilling a manifold that already has 3 ports!!

I hear ya. There is no way in hell anything is going in the 1/16 NPT hole. I can see the 1/8" NPT one but it is about 3/8" away from the 475 housing and just in front of it. I was debating making my own adapter but IDK yet.

KXTRAP now when you say running drive pressure exactly what are you reffering too. Cause I have a boost gauge and im getting my boost reading from a tap in my intake manifold. Also the pyrometer is their a place to install thats easily accessible or is it more like a renco oven where you set it and forget it cause you'll never see it again. Also I have a bladerunner afe manifold could I use this manifold or be better off to use to one supplied with the kit

Drive pressure is what is driving the turbo(s). It's measured in psi at the exhaust manifold. The ideal drive pressure to boost ratio is 1:1. I was told when running compounds that having a DP gauge is a good idea. Your talin a bladerunner exhaust manifold right? (just to make sure, they have the same name for their intake) It doesn't matter. DPS seems to be more on the economy side. Your AFE probably will work just flip it.

Autometer sells a copper coil kit for this. I got mine from Aligator, i believe it was something like $16 or something like that.
