Well, out messing with the up-pipe this morning before work and noticed the #8 cylinder where the header bolts up is missing one bolt AND is leaking oil. I don't think oil should be leaking out a exhaust port, looks like it's been leaking a long time. Any ideas?

Yep

So driving it around (the neighbors are hating me), when I floor it, I'm getting a ton of smoke coming into the cab (no doghouse yet). I took a go pro video and it looks like the collector didn't seal on the passenger side, buy I can't really tell. I'm gonna go to O'Reilly and get a set of...

Also forgot to show my CDR relocate. The OEM line is perfect if flipped 180*. There will eventually be a catch can under this, similar to a Dodge.

Haha, ya, my wife hates having all my buckets sitting in her parking spot on the driveway haha looking at getting a wrecked Charger next week, she knows about it but isn't too excited

My wife says I need to finish this project since I started it, so here goes. Finished welding the new exhaust, 3" straight with a dynomax bullet resonator. Added in my boost and egt gauges,wired them up to a Pyle 12v step down. If anyone uses this step down down forget to add a switch, otherwise...

Ya, I'm thinking the turbo itself is just too big

Well, got the new CDR in, got it rerouted, oil leak fixed. Took it out, still not building boost, I can get like 4psi flooring it, super sluggish, not much faster than stock. I might chock this up to a failed experiment. I'll prob put it back to stock in the fall, triple digits are way too hot...

Gonna add a note, so the CDR connects in two places, to the intake mani, and to the oil fill tube. This is fine in a NA setup as the Mani is pulling a vacuum on the CDR. With a turbo, the intake is pressurized, so with the CDR installed, the pressure shoots right into the CDR and into the oil...

Ok, learned something new. I guess when adding a turbo the CDR needs re-routing to the airbox, pre-turbo. So, I didn't do that, the turbo pressurized the case, and popped the rear main. Guess it's time to order some parts.

I'm also wondering my oil leak is from the rear main seal. I have a hunch the CDR is clogged and the turbo caused excess crank pressure somehow and blew that seal out. That'd explain why the oil is all over the flex plate.

So I have it setup like the d-max, each header has one up-pipe,each up-pipe goes to it's respective exhaust hookup on the turbo. Only difference is my driver side up-pipe goes under the truck then up to the turbo, it's longer than the d-max. I don't see any leaks around my gaskets. The plumbing...

Well, went out again, kept it in the dirt so I don't leak oil everywhere, just not building boost, even with the wastegate locked out. I'm thinking this 6.7 turbo is too big for the old tired 6.2

Here's a quick video pulling it back into the yard.

Added a 2nd spring to the turbo master, got the turbo oil feed leak fixed. Drove it, made about 5psi of boost, I think I need to lock out the wastegate, I don't think this engine will ever have enough juice to make enough boost to need a wastegate. Had to stop driving though, the rubber rear...

Finished the intercooler piping. Started it for the first time, have a few problems. So it doesn't appear to be making any boost. If I had the fathom, my turbo master spring is too weak. Also the engine is idling rough, and when gassing it it will hold a rev for a few seconds. Other problems...

No first turbo, been building engines for over 20yrs though

Started running the intercooler piping this evening. Trying to do minimal mods to the inner fenders, so I routed the piping to the outside, then will go in through a 2.75" hole I'll out in the inner fenders to get to the intercooler. Also tapped the intercooler pipe right before the plenum and...

You mean like have it reproduced to sell?
