Message: [QUOTE="Hotrodtractor, post: 133102, member: 25"] Towing with a turbo like Uncool (Marc) is talking about is just a matter of tuning and driving style. Obviously when that turbo was on my truck it was a built motor - on Marc's truck its a stock bottom end truck. I'm not sure that I would want a turbo like that for towing at elevation - but I did tow a bit with it in 2007 playing around with it - and Marc has used and driven the hell out of that turbo on his truck - including driving it from California to Ohio and back again while making several stops along the way. I was running a hand shaker and he is running an auto with a PCS (he might have ran it some before he converted to an auto - I don't recall exactly). I've put S465 turbos with the small turbine wheel and .9 housings on a couple of truck around this area that tow in manual trans trucks - they have no issues towing with stage IIs - but again its all about tuning and driving style. In order to tow you need to keep your RPMs up a bit - its the nature of the beast - so many guys want to tow, but they want to keep the RPMs down and lug the truck - guess what a turbo like this isn't for you.
