A few things I learned doing this job: The dreaded Y collector to turbo clamp.... I torqued both up pipes to the collector and left the bolts to the manifolds very loose on both sides. I then wrapped a ratchet strap around the up pipes/collector, ran the strap up and over the turbo and hooked the other end to the tire changing tools. The ratchet strap held the Y collector firm in place against the turbo while I put the clamp on. Literally had it done in 5 minutes. I watched just about every video and saw every writeup on this topic and was dreading the Y-Collector/Turbo clamp. Also when removing the exhaust manifold/up-pipe bolts (assuming they aren't totally rusted out) First spray them with WD-40 the day prior and again before working on them. DO NOT USE A 10MM & 13MM! You will strip the bolts and have to cut them off like almost every other person who's made these videos! I almost made the mistake myself going off a very popular writeup on how to do this. The correct size is a 3/8 wrench for the top and 1/2 socket for the bottom. Hope this helps and makes things go smoother for somebody.

I just left the driver side unbolted at the bottom. Worked like a charm

You're going to love being able to build boost pressure. My 7.3 would barely get 2 psi with the leaky stock pipes and the smell of exhaust always in the cab. I change to Riffraff ceramic coated up-pipes and it jumps to 21psi on the Edge insight if I give it skinny pedal now. I've got the Riffraff OCR too so I'm not exactly sure the exact boost level. I also did the KC Turbos balanced rebuild kit and ceramic coated my turbo.

I know this needs to be done on my 350, but man does it look like a pain in the ass.

[@francishartman7749]

It's an Oldy but still Goldy!! 👍😉💪

[@narcisist83]

Is this a re-upload? I'm having dejavu.

[@scoot_jockey]

So uh, I like how you ended the video when it was time to join the collector to the backside of the compressor. Where is the second video finishing the install?

[@Blueovalnation]

Dude what size sockets are you using. That’d be helpful

[@cndream1]

Hey Nick, bit confused. Where are you at with the conversion ? Did you finish the front end swap completely and what about the dash swap. Need updates please

[@derkaderkastan420]

I learned a trick. If you’re taking the turbo out cutting the drivers side up pie and unbolting the passenger side or breaking them off allows for that dumb v band removal to take 3 seconds.

I STILL WANT TO BUY THE TRUCK WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED WITH IT.. IT HAS CLASS,,

[@psi3000]

Are you re-uploading old vids? Could have swore you did this already along with the painting of the engine and plenum install you just uploaded...

[@jesseoconnell3163]

did you film this years ago? your riffraff plenums are not there or your painted valley.

[@EngineersHomestead]

I think he's editing down old vids so they aren't half an hour long

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Wow Mathew getting so big bro @FixItNick

[@matthewfort3740]

Nick did you get the new dash all together?

[@momlilmonster2491]

Will you go with bigger turbo in the future?

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Look forward to the next episode bro @FixItNick

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

All the boost now

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Wow the old pipes are defenitly shot the riff raff kit is very nice @FixItNick

[@TowMan127]

👏👏👏👏

[@notj5712]

Thankfully, you didn't get the dorman up-pipes. I took them back off and threw them away. I couldn't bring myself to even give them away for free to someone. I didn't want to do that to them. (By the way, he lost and is a lifelong criminal.)

[@TheFrppking98]

Again?

[@kennyirish5021]

Yea this is an old video', Like two years ago. What's up????

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Been awhile Brother Hope you and the family been Well @FixItNick
