Elites tow power atmospheric only?

fluid · Oct 17, 2011

Has anyone installed an Elite tow power atmospheric turbo only?
Elite says by itself should net 50whp with no waste gate needed, for the price it seems like a reasonable mod. Any thoughts?

It'll help out. Should drop your egts a bit too. I've dome just the stock atmosphere charger and they look and measure the same on the outside. I say do it.

What's the price?

The Tow Power atmospheric charger runs $1300.

Glad to see you here Anthony.

Ya for $1300 you can't get much better option. Pick up a few ponies, drop intake temps which will also drop egts, still looks stock so it keeps ppl wondering and you can install this cab on. Oh, and you don't need head studs or a wastegate to run it, it would be recommended to do the head studs thou.

Thank you Shane!

I believe I have one in stock and ready to ship. There is a $1000 Core charge. I would also recommend the studs.

Interesting, so could this make 600rwhp on stock fuel?

INFAMOUS · Oct 17, 2011

I believe that is possible...

Sold! sounds like a good stepping stone for me, thanks for the input.
Does anyone know how easy it is to separate the turbos? they look pressed together.

I like this idea as well. its attractive to not have the wastegate. What would spoolup be like?

I think that's an awesome upgrade

You have to take them out as an assembly and then separate them.

Spool should be as good as stock if not better.

Nice! Definitely will be looking at this in the future. What are the specs on tow power atmos vs. Stock atmos?

White_monster · Oct 17, 2011

71mm billet wheel in the tow power turbo. Don't remember stock size

Matt · Oct 17, 2011

I believe stock is 65mm.

Beans71086 · Oct 17, 2011

Ok, thanks guys.

Has anyone port matched the exhaust inlet of their turbos? i bought a bunch of components off of a wrecked 08 (trans,transfer case, converter, turbo, heads) and noticed there is a lip from gasket diameter to inlet diameter, about an 1/8". would it be worth it to gasket match and polish inlet?
