Nice setup just like how i wanna do mine.
Lots of people rekon the gt35/40 turbo is perfect for a 5l.
Does it see fullboost by 3000rpm?

i havent realy been up it coz i dont want to root the motor but , ive seen 3psi at 2000rpm and thats not even with my foot down , thats only just touching the throttle, so it should be well on to full boost by 2500-3000rpm once its tuned

nice just what i want. How long till its tuned? Dont go over 10psi on standard headgaskets as you will do a a headgasket.
Dont listen to anyone that says the turbo is 2 small it should pull hard to 5000 5500 on a standard 5l.

i got the radiator in today, had to trim a bit more off the thermo fans , this time i sealed the thermos with sikaflex around the raditator , so it can only suck through the radiator and no where else , it makes a big difference and u cant here the thermos anymore

any reason for changing the radiator was the stock one strugling to keep the temps down with the cooler and air con condenser mounted infront of it?

Nah the stock one was fine but I thought it wouldn't hurt to change it specially
to replace it with something new and better and it didn't
cost that much
