It's pretty easy to get to. I pulled the whole trans to get to it but after getting the side cover off I figured out it could be done with just taking the drivers side control arm and strut out, disconnect the steering rack and just dropping that side of the cradle all the way and it gives the side cover plenty of room to come off and everything can come out. Only "hard" part is the valve bodies and remembering where each bolt goes and the stupid check *****. I bought a rebuild manual for the trans that helped out a lot.

They don't make a kit yet. If they were a good shop they would have checked the turbo maps and try to sell you a turbo that would work with the 3.9. It's all about drivers choice.

I had a t3/t4 when I first built it. Had all the power in the lower rpms and would spin the tires at light accel, but would choke at 5K. I didn't like that so I went with a larger turbo.

That's nice, I was just informing you on the question that you asked.

No need to be so hostile towards someone that is trying to help you.

It wasn't "hard". I went to harbor freight and bought a cheap wire feed welder and just started welding pipe up. On the first setup the only extra pipe i needed was for the downpipe, welded up the exit on the stock mani and welded the flange right to the stock crossover with some crazy setup for the wastegate. You just have to be creative and take your time. I encourage anyone to give it a try if I can do it anyone can.
