Remember alot of guys are running the vband .70 housing. If you go to a straight t3 that should help as the factory flange is restrictive

Im not following what youre trying to say here :morons: LOL

Sorry I should have said running a t3 with new up pipes that are t3 in theory should out perform a t3 turbo with the vband adapter with factory up pipes

Could also run a reworked collector on the stock and run the flange still, but bored out the flange to make it flow better.

Very true, lots of options when you go into building parts

A little off topic, but what do you guys think will spool faster, a t4 divided .83 or a t3 open .70, assuming both have better than stock up-pipes?

My vote is for open T3 .70.

I have a 62/68 sitting in my shop right now with both the open T3 .70 and divided T4 .83. If I do the compounds here soon, I will be going with the T3...

make sure you gate it.

All accounted for, housing was almost $500 more for the gated, I can get a better external for way less than that...

T4 .83 with divided up pipes spools better

Still waiting on hard facts to show this. Like in most threads, all we get is seat of the pants results and "it's better"

I'll stick with what's proven

max 205 injectors, seeing how your in the mountains of bc, for your large turbo i'd do a s475/83/1.25 t4 some on here will say that exhaust size is small but if you mount the second turbo on the passenger side were the battery is, the velosity lost from the long intermidiate pipe is huge, i ran that setup on the dually when we towed my race truck over the coke between kamloops and mission. you'll be happy

Shawn, where can I find this turbo? I can find it with a T6 all day long, but I found one place that had it online and it was outrageously expensive! Is that just going to be the cost of making good workable power or could I get by with a 475/83/1.10 T6? Or is there a more "standard" size that would work?

With the crappy stock up-pipes and an adapter on the t3, I have no doubt that this statement is true. With a decent set of t3 up-pipes, I don't know...
