What's the part number on the belt tensioner

He is correct you can take the belt off without taking anything off and change it I have done it it is a pain in the ass but you can sneak it through

So did you ruin your turbo or not by taking off ring silencer on turbo?

That ring helps direct the air flow at the turbo inlet on HARD deceleration after building lots of boost into a doughnut shape. This keeps the turbo impeller from being slowed and even reversing in direction as the pressurized air in the intake and inter-cooler tract tries to rush in the wrong direction, past the impeller, and greatly reduces stress on the turbo shaft from the sudden deceleration. No performance gain, no changes to sound when spooling up, and nothing else besides a less harsh "Bark" when you very quickly let off the accelerator pedal while the turbo is spinning very quickly under a mild to heavy load. The internet is full of garbage advice and ideas and no one wants to know or care about the truth.

Like how you didn't show any of the work

Nice video man!

Great drone footage of the burnouts

Great to see a fellow Northern Nevada RAM owner. Great vid!

You can notice a pretty good difference when it’s under load at least mine did

Straight pipe it

Love Frenchman's...taught my kids to fish there, great lake to teach kids because they can catch fish. So sorry to see the lake now after the fire that swept through the area.

Does removing it do anything bad?

This is a really good video, especially the end where you explained burping the system

What air filter do you have installed?

NR-- Thanks for the amazing vid with comparison views. Lots of shooting and post-production work, but long time Frenchman fishers like me appreciate it. So sad, but more green trees than I expected to see. BTW, that last shot of the flowing creek... was that Grigsby Spring Creek? Thanks again for your efforts.

I haven't been out there yet and was told by one of my Forest Service friends that it was more of a mosaic burn around the lake but I can see it is much worse than I had imagined. I still need to get out there and see some of the areas near Grigsby, Lookout Creek and Dooley Canyon but from your video I don't think they fared much better. Thanks for sharing this sad end to a beautiful area and you did a wonderful job on the before and after views!

Thanks for the awesome video. I don't think it looks too bad, but will find out tomorrow, unless we decide to go kayaking somewhere else.

You didn’t show fuck all!

You did a good job making this video. Thanks for making it

Not really too bad in that area, especially compared to the devastation in parts of the Dixie fire and camp fire areas. Though much of the Dixie fire, too, burned in a mosaic pattern or just thinned out like this.

Same face I made when I cranked mine up with a five inch turbo back exhaust

Good stuff

Have you looked at the afe torque tube. It’s only like 80 bucks and seems to be the same but hard plastic. I’m just thinking a full silicone s tube might collapse under full load. Probably not but possible. Also 40 or so dollars cheaper. Maybe you can do a review of it?

How many of us have leaned on the air box and felt it snap, lol . Be honest

Nice video!! What area did you draw? I'm thinking about a pronghorn hunt.

On the road in to the lake there's a campground on the left before you get to Frenchman's Lake. We used to call it Last Chance campground. We camped there alot when I was a kid. Good memories! Can't imagine the fee for one night there now. I last camped there in the 1970s! Good times!

Great video. I was last there in 2007 on a day picnic with my Mom and Dad and 2 other relatives. We had a good time. My Mom is now in Heaven and my Dad has guardians and he's not nearby me. We all loved Frenchman's Lake all our lives. I'll get back there some day!

Been up there a few times this winter. Damn near every tree and campground you drove past on the way to fish is destroyed. This place will probably never look the same in my lifetime.

What type of coolant do you use and what all did you actually replace?

Awesome video brother! Keep up the great work!!!

What tunes are you running

Great job! Keep up the great content.

Great footage my dude! Glad you got this up 🙌

Get the trans done first! Nothing like spending money to get rolling only to be forced to a stop and having to spend more money. At least the trans will be ready when you have more available power at your foot.

Video reminds me of back in the day with carbs, if you see just a tiny puff of smoke on throttle down, you're right where it should be, not over or under. Nice clean looking and running truck, I didn't see or hear anything obnoxious.

Welcome back great video!

Chris looks like the type of guy who lays thick pipe all the time.

How did you ruin ur turbo tho

It's not worth Pulling the Ring out...I don't think it made a Difference at all ..It's a little hard to get out and I think I'm going to put it back in...

People hook or wave at me and the big rigs hit the horn at me and wave as will lol

I have a 5 inch straight pipe stack lol and that will make it louder with the ring off the Trubo

Do you have a link to the exhaust kit?

Great stuff man keep it up!

My first gen IC had a silencer ring in it and there wasn't even an MWE port/groove( someone goofed at the turbo factory apparently), it had primary and secondary fins on the wheel, go figure, but since it was a mid year model with the cooler it got the larger tube from the AF to the turbo. I took my turbo out and apart and machined the MWE port in the comp housing and removed the ring, it was a big enough PIA doing it on the bench in a vice. No way I would fight with it under the hood, I'd at least pull the comp housing to do this but for sure you better have a new seal ring to put in when you go back together with it. By the time I was done with the turbo, swapping the 21 for a 12 and working over the IP and the MWE along with the ring removal, I'm sure it made for at least another 60HP. Next on the list is a set of 90 HP inj. a compound setup and a dual disc clutch kit. That ought to be about the end of my G360 trans input shaft.

Bla bla bla just show before and after

Why the fuck does the thumbnail for this video say "I ruined my turbo". That is just some clickbait bullshit, and skipping to the end when you say "I have driven it for bla blah blah... And I absolutely love it". Just proves it. Super lame home boy. Super lame.

Oh boy 6 hours of worthless burnouts. Not a real drag race.

Camera skills are legit. May have to hire you for some family photos

Sadly, I just had all mine out and didn't do the silencer ring removal but will once I get the flo-pro. I have seen you around fernturkey LD

Nice. I am awaiting shipping I still have that shitty cat and muffler :(
