You just never mind my exhaust plumbing! I'm an old man.....

Oh, you wanted to know about Mutt's exhaust plumbing. Well, there ain't none. If you take a look on my build thread you'll see the installation thru the front fender straight from the turbo outlet. IIRC, the pipe is 2 1/4" and no more than 18" long with a flex joint so the engine can move a tad.

Tim at Tim's Turbos in Falls Church, VA did right by me. The website is (the site cut out Tim's website - you'll have to Google it) . Good guy. As far as a bolt-on turbo, I never looked into that. The Mercedes setup with an integral wastegate is specific enough that unless you're willing to develop a system (turbo, wastegate, exhaust system, boost controller, and plumbing) the smart choice from my point of view is to modify the stock turbo more or less like mine is.

BTW - the T04 compressor does NOT plumb back to the factory intake manifold. Again, I show in my build thread how I got around that by modifying the stock manifold by adding a connector off the top of the manifold and blocking the original inlet. Any good machine shop ought to be able to do something like I had done for not a ton of $$.

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you guys. These engines are outside of the normal hot rod engines - small block Chevy or Ford, big block Chevy, or even Cummins ISB - so you're sort of on your own and none of it is as cheap as doing one of those common engines. I learned most of this at The School Of Hard Knocks and I'm still learning. I'm happy to share what I've learned but I'm afraid I can't take the $$ out of it. I will tell y'all that the best bang for the $$ was the SuperPump which might not be suitable for street use. The other changes I made helped a little, the SuperPump changed the whole personality of the truck.

EDIT: I have no experience with the MYNA pumps. I'm sure they're very good, too. I now have a sort of relationship with Goran and am confident in his work. Pretty much anything that gets more fuel into the cylinder will build more power and I'm convinced that adjusting timing, messing with the ALDA, etc. can only make slight improvements. The real power gains seem to be in a good pump whether MYNA of Dieselmeken.
