Wow Jamie, pictures of your truck just don't do it justice. What a sweet ride.

I think I saw some dust just above the rear axle though. You should clean that some day!

The boys were working into the dark hours yesterday. The twins are looking great!
(Although pink wouldn't have been my first choice of colors....)

We are slowly getting everything to fit purfectly. Hoping we can get the air lines to fit down out of the way and different than everyone else's set-up. Its nice to be able to see the engine with all those beautiful big whirly things under the hood.

Got the air inlet done last night, looks almost professional. Even got that big filter to fit nicely.

Almost professional.??? The work you 3 do is beyond professional!!!!!!!!!
After people see this set up, you will have to move to where Source or II are located. They will be begging you to work for them.

They are full injectors so it would be faster than doing the tips(which I also have!!)

Don't know about that, those outfits do nice cookie cutter stuff, nothing wrong there, we just like doing unigue stuff. Been a fun build. Not sure how many more of the twins stuff we will do, but the engine stuff is sure taking off good. Must have three to four engine builds on the go.

Have four to five twins builds planned for the rest of the year, mostly our stuff and friends stuff.

I've been reading and checking up on this thread a lot lately and now you've got me considering a set of twins Mike.

I'm game to try, but I think once you're back from the coast my friend. I'm game to throw a set of stick in the truck. Sure would be cool to see what these turbos do way down with sea level. Even my old 40/3b combo worked awesome. Probably wouldn't have tried any other twins turbo combos if I didn't live so far up in elevation.

U bet Mike, I was only kidding. I will install them when I get back. I got some new cross over tube o rings and air horn gaskets to make sure it's all done right too.

Can't get the parts in time to build a new primary intake, so I found a 5" silicone coupler to seal that joint before the 90 up to the air filter. Obviously isn't ideal, but it will work, and allow us to have you on the road this weekend.

I call shotgun ride along on a test ride. I can't wait to see how everything runs. I think it should be a pretty wicked set-up, even on my truck, with tons of boost leaks, nice spool-up and decent power.

Common rail and on SW9, wicked mon.
