I ordered my plug from ATS and both people I spoke to were very helpful in making sure I got the right part and it will be here on Wednesday. Its gone up in price to $45 by the way...
Im thinking about putting the turbo on before the plug gets here. I dont think it will be that hard to get to that area for the swap with the turbo installed. Am I wrong and should I just wait a few more days?

Hey guys, quick question. We are looking at doing the swap on my brothers '03. Now the problem is that he has a packbrake installed, along with 4" exhaust. Will we need to get a new exhaust brake, or will the pacbrake fit the HE351?

Turbo and elbow, ATS plug and rings, and boost elbow are on the way! I think I may try to tap the plug for the boost elbow as someone else suggested on here, it just seems a bit cleaner. I can't wait to dig in!

I can't seem to get over 28 psi out of mine. Using a adjustable elbow I got off e-bay, I have the set screw all the way in for max boost. Maybe I'm having a boost leak somewhere?

I put a $.50 C-Clamp on my hose and I can see as high as 40psi if I give it enough fuel. With just my Van Aaken C3.2 box on high I see between 30-35psi depending on how long I keep my foot in it. It takes a long time to get to the 35psi mark. I just have the stock solenoid still in place...

I went to the dealer today and picked up the clamp (52121285), and a turbo gasket. Do I need 2 of the clamps, one for the turbo/elbow and one for the elbow/DP? They showed a different clamp pn for the DP side, and wanted over $70(!) for that one, so I passed because I didn't read here about needing it. Do I just re-use one of mine, or need two of the ones I got, or a different one as well?

You don't need the turbo side clamp if you still have your original one. That is the same size. Unfortunately you DO need the expensive one for the downpipe connection.
Thanks, Dodgezilla.
