Ok starting a new project along with all my others lol! 2007 quad cab power wagon single front mount turbo build in progress. we are going to use longtubes into a Y just like my truck. The Y will then turn back to the front of the truck and up next to the motor. turbo will be a single gt45 setup for now which should get the truck to easily over 650+ HP. will be on a 8/15 Psi setup most likely he will leave it on 15 lol. the exhaust is going to possibly be run out the fender like my setup not 100% on that yet as turbo is a little smaller and may sllow a little more play with exhaust routing. pictures will be updated as i go just started removing old exhaust last night so soon we will have some progress.

He is fine a little sore but working today! He said he swears he said woohoo in the air. It was a wild ride airbags went off on impact from the cases landing then the truck bounced up and took the wall out. Very violent but he is good the winch brace kept the front from really getting destroyed.
Main thing to take from this if it happens to anyone else turn the truck off don’t shift it just shut it off it’s not like the old carburetor days.

Jen said he tried for neutral but in a panick forgot to bump the shift instead just tried to stuff it and it’s a push drop setup so you have to let off the push to shift again. The key in a panick is the best thing to do and coast to a stop. Anyway he’s over it on to bigger and better things. He was totally stocked that it was so damn fast for its size just a fluke thing and a panick and it all went wrong. Everyone keep an eye out for a 1500 ram truck 2003-2008 range single or quad for cheap must have a hemi or had a hemi

Have you had a chance to look into the engine? Any chance throttle body parts got into the engine?

Not sure yet it was dark not really concerned with it till I look at it don’t really much care honestly I had to much time into that to see it that way. It is getting stripped down and made into a buggy with a bed and all the stuff is going onto another truck. 50mm BOV was a real tial not a fake.

the hardest spring that came in the box of the two and it still would crack just barely when reeves and released. Was not BOV related. He said it was like the truck reeves itself up to wot which would happen if throttle broke.I’m not going into it anymore kinda pisses me off it is what it is. Think we have found another truck already still waiting on reply from seller.
