I will be doing the turbo and new gauges first. I'm hoping to get the clutch installed next week, so I'll have plenty of time to try the daily driver programs. After I break in the clutch, I will add the mp8 and go from there. Hopefully I don't blow the clutch to pieces!

Just installed mine this past weekend. There are a lot of good posts about it. But one thing that I didn't read anywhere that ended up slowing me down, is there are 2 little pins sticking out of the exhaust elbow flange that connects to the stock turbo to help line up everything. Be sure you pull those out. I had my exhaust manifold and turbo hanging on the engine and couldn't get the flanges to line up. My buddy (who needs glasses!!) was up top while I was underneath pushing and pulling on the exhaust and turbo for 30 minutes trying to get it to line up. Once I got out from under the truck and looked, I saw the issue. Maybe it will help save you a minor headache. Good luck with the install and congrats!! Tac
