Fixed! Lol :thumbsup:

Nate convinced me to do several things on this truck I hadn't planned on doing but after realizing I might as well do everything I can while the cab is off, and the funds allowed, so I went ahead and listened to him, my bank account will hate him but I'm sure I'll personally love all the extra cool stuff!

Bottom end is back from balancing, Still waiting on elite cam :fustrate:

RCD Aluminum Oil Pan showed up today. I'm having it epoxy powder coated to protect it during the winters......Then it will go down to UDP next week probably. Mag Hytec pan was ordered for the tranny as well, Nate should have it or it is on the way to him.

Well I guess I spoke to soon, Elite 1x Cam shipped to UDP Today. Finally! Thank Tadd! :thumbsup:

So I'm debating on upgrading my factory VGT to elites 59mm VGT hp turbo. I can run it on stock nozzles and fuel...I would think it would help me reach my goal of 700rwhp, I'm just thinking about EBP as there is no wastegate for my setup as all my piping is already sitting and none of it is plumbed for a wastegate. Thoughts / Opinions? Bashing? Lol :morons:

If the funds are there I would just get it. It allows you to grow in the future having that turbo. Plus it's all apart so why not. It's just money lol

Haha just money. MY MONEY lol. I'm just thinking about how high EBP might go if i make the switch, i just dont want to add a wastegate at this point. It'd be PITA.

CAT35niner · Apr 29, 2015

Lol. It'd be less of a pain in the azz now then later down the road. Everything is apart now haha. I don't see bp going up a lot from just adding the turbo. But then again idk. I don't have those vgt things anymore. I just know the feeling of looking back and saying man I wish I would've done that then.

Black AOD · Apr 29, 2015

Yeah true, I agree with your point.

sootie · Apr 29, 2015

i say add the 59mm...i would lean you towards RCD's though...from a customer support standpoint. if they dont have stock, Morgan @ Midwest does

Black AOD · Apr 29, 2015

Decision made. Elite Tow Power Plus HP VGT added. Ironically enough, Elite was out of stock but RCD had one on shelf, haha. It's ordered. Will be here next week I'd guess.

Lol. I guess. It doesn't compare to your compunds or some other setups on here. But it'll be reliable and make 700 whp all day (I hope)!

CAT35niner · Apr 29, 2015

Lol it should be both of those things. Can't wait to see it run.

Iirrc the elite vgt has a bigger turbine. So it should help keep the ebp lower

You're only looking at $500 max I would think to have a gate installed. Plus the shop you're at should be able to modify the up pipe and add a provision for a gate. I would recommend you do it now rather than once the cab is back on.

Trust me, I'm highly thinking about it. Thanks though webb! :thumbsup:
