Ya know how you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! Keep working at it and it will eventually be complete. I'm interested in the tuning segment and how that goes. Also, how was the exhaust manifold removal and header install?
Turbo Tahoe?

Yeah ultimately I don't really have a lot left it's just time consuming things. But in regards to the exhaust manifolds I think as along as you soak all the bolts before hand it'd probably come off easy, I in fact didn't lol. I ended up cutting it into sections because I didn't want to have to drop the mid crossmember due to all the road grime on the threads. When it's all said and done I plan to do an electric cutout connected back to the factory muffler for when I take trips with it.

Ran into some more issues today. Kit is made for a Silverado not quite a Tahoe so the rear AC lines and stuff associated kind of take up a lot of the space for the downpipe, and it also hits the frame rail as well so I'm going to have to take it to a local shop and get it fabbed up. Also the factory plug wires will no longer work with the new manifold. This may be a direct bolt up kit for 07-13 Silverado but for us in the Tahoe world it requires some work.

Well I stand corrected the downpipe did fit just had to ask it respectfully to work in unison with other parts lol. Got it on as we as the wastegate and dumptube. Had most of the charge pipes on but had to send them off with a friend to get them altered and the MAF sensor welded on.

Thank you sir. I'm going to try and tackle the few other things while I wait to get the piping back, tapping the pan for oil return and deciding where to get my oil feed source since my truck has a factory oil cooler, so where most tap it is not available. About to do a little research on what custom plug wire kit to get and I'll keep you posted like you stated previously.
