Message: [QUOTE="mikeeg02, post: 1488642, member: 24194"] My old truck had the same setup as I tried on this truck. Bellowed pipes, tight compressor side of turbo (no boost leaks, found all and fixed with a leak tester, one of which being the map sensor between the plastic and the brass) The difference between these two trucks was the difference between auto and manual transmission, and thats where I noticed the most difference between the two trucks with the same turbo. (Lack of converter slip) Where the turbo came to life on this truck was too late for my driving habits. And as I have admitted several times, the issue with the top end was likely the gate being too tight. It was stuck in my head that the old saying was 238-80s and a 38r with 6 turns on the gate got you 500hp. So after all that I wanted something better (and Carson Stauffer agreed I would when I told him I picked up a 38r) and he steered me to what I have now. Theres no dispute that a stock 38r took a lot of abuse, and work well for a lot of people, and some people made great power with them too. Hell I have bought two new ones myself in the last 8 years. But Im not 18, and not looking to make a smoke show. Dont want to have to change my driving habits to keep the turbo happy. I dont want to have to wash the soot off of my white trailer. I drive how I drive, and built the truck around that. If it was an auto trans truck, and I would have adjusted the gate, I probably wouldnt of needed to switch, especially when 3rd is a button away, without losing your built boost going up a mountain.
