It looks good and sounds good. How does it run?

Thanks guys. It runs good. I'm running 8psi but it wants to creep past if you stay on it for a while in 3rd or 4th. I guess my wast gate is not opening all the way. It just started when i opened up the exhaust with the flowmaster. It will boost to 8 psi then stops then wants to start creeping. No big deal but i cant have it doing that once i start turning up the boost. Don't want any detonation. I guess i just need to buy a new wastegate. The other day it was idling in the drive way and i heard a little vibrating noise. It was the rod on the wastegate just barely rattling. It felt a little loose. So I'm thinking something going on with it. :icon_confused: But other than that it seem to be doing fine.

word of advice get rid of that muffler with the turbo. They say that a flowmaster is pulse tuned muffler but the problem is that the turbo smooth those pulses out and they say that it will actually create backpressure. Get a magnaflow straight through style. I run the biggest magnaflow i can on my bronco and it works great

Edit: it also looks like you have the square intake. Take it and have the flange cut off and rotate it 90* so its facing the front of the truck and it makes installing a intercooler easier if your going to.

That does look great, Nice job. It looks like you had some clearance issues with the heater box. I am doing the same swap you did. I have a non-A/C truck. Would you recommend going with a stock location or a center mount exhaust manifold? What is that electric fan set up from? Thanks
