I also bought one if not the nicest turbo blanket on the market. It's made by Funk Motorsport. They make a blanket for a T6 flange turbo. Very high quality. Hoping this will help keep the heat out of the engine bay, and improve performance a tiny tiny bit. Plus it looks cool.
They also...
Next was working on the exhaust stack. I chose to change the location of the stack. I didn't want it angled out from the old exhaust stack and wanted it farther from the coolant tank. My buddy and I decided that using the channel way for the convoy lights and running thread adapters would...
Creating the downpipe was a bit tricky. There's not alot of room on these cabs in comparison to the 800 series trucks. Trying to route the exhaust down and under with a bend was challenging. My buddy had lifted his 925 cab when he did the mrap rad and intercooler install so he used a different...
Decided to mount the coolant tank on the passenger side front head rack next to where the stock exhaust would go. It's tucked in so the cab protects it somewhat. Installed new 1/4" to-4an fittings and 3/8 to -6an fittings. Bought 1" silicone hose for the feed to the oil cooler. Going to wrap...
Well yesterday one of my best friends who turboed his m925 came up and helped me with my build. Got the manifold drilled and tapped for pyros for #5 and #6. The 5th one is in case I get a controller for the methanol. I will put a pipe plug in the manifold. Got the manifold torqued to 40ft...
I decided to get some 316 stainless metal lock nuts from McMaster Carr. I don't want the nylon breaking down if the temps are high enough to melt the nylon in the aftercooler. Ill change those out before the cooler is all assembled. I also got the manifold painted today. Now just gotta start...
Thanks Superthermal. My other fear was if that heat exchanger was to fail, it would dump water, rust and whatever else in the engine. So I'm trying to eliminate any future issues. I also do have a methanol kit as well I can run. It won't run all the time but when I need it, it will help.
Made some progress today.
Removed the coolant resevoir tank. Going to clean that up and set aside for the re-assembly.
Removed exhaust manifold. Looks like mocking up the pulse manifold I will need to get the front piece of exhaust on first to help with the clearance.
I primed the exhaust...

Removed the S pipe exhaust and the intake manifold to make room for the big cam aftercooler. I need to figure out how to get that S shaped fuel line away from the block. I don't know if the aftercooler will fit there without rubbing. Will need to dig deeper when I get closer to assembly...
Removed the stack and pipe under the cab in preparation for the turbo. Also received my injectors from premco. 10% overs. Based on my pump settings, Warren from Premco said this would be a nice upgrade and still give me reliability and not stress the engine. Not looking for a big powerhouse...
