It is a great design, plus it makes it really easy for lining them up with the slots on the one side

The manifold gasket set and turbo flange gasket was around $70-$75 shipped.

FTE (Fast Track Enterprises) is where I bought mine, and highly recommend them!

Now for a simple, cheap, and easy upgrade.......I always thought the stock tcase lever was too low.
I had to lean forward and take my eye slightly off the road.

I learned that some Jeep's tcase levers use the same thread pitch/pattern (M10x1.5mm) as my truck. Jeep owners use this extension piece after a body lift is installed.

I bought a bare aluminum off Ebay for $10, scuffed up the finish and used some epoxy paint.









You also also buy them prepainted from Quadratec:

http://www.quadratec.com/products/96117_500.htm


Pop the ****'s top cap off, use a socket to remove the nut (metric, dont recall the size) and unscrew the **** from the post. I thought the **** was held in place by the nut, it is also screwed on tightly.









Stock:







Reinstall everything and voila!......very comfortable height, at a great level to use.

lookin good, on the bulbs tho, take the 9006 fogs back and get the 9005's, remove stock fog bulb, compare with base connector for 9006, remove rib to allow use of 9005 bulb in place of the 9006 bulb, 20 watts more light, for the same price !

I installed the POD yesterday, and it feels 'good'......

I used SW # 7 : 130 Hp increase, with added timing

I adjusted the tires size and read any DTC (none thankfully!)

I put it on power level 60, 80, and finally 99.

It seems good, just not great......hard to explain.

Torque Management I used # 2 - Mild

Injection Timing I used #2 - for stock injectors

Rail pressure I used # 2 - Mild

Maybe it is just hurting for some more fuel. The AD150 will be installed around the 16TH......

The AD150 is the main priority on the list right now, which will hopefully be installed and completed by the end of the month.

I have the ATS Manifold Pulse Flow at the powdercoating shop right now and then I will have to fund a new aftermarket turbo......to help flow more air.

I am fairly confident the S&B air filter on my Icebox intake will flow more than enough air, just need a better turbo.

Hey D45, it looking pretty good! Are the flames on the valve cover painted or airbrushed?
