Yeah a 66 non vgt setup is definitely WAY less expensive than a MTW stage 4...

comparing what you had and the t4 set ups is kinda apples and oranges. no pedestal no adapter and a box turbo.

I still believe the stage 4 will be a way better turbo. The OP never mentioned anything about a budget price haha

Yeah I understand that but OP never mentioned a T4...I was just assuming T3...my bad.
Damn strong statement if you ask me.

Stage 3 mtw can be had for a decent price and is a perfect match for 190/100s great for everything the op listed and you dont have to change anything but tuning!!! Hell my old truck made great power with it!
As for drop in, then yes the stg 4 will be ok. As for been there done that, sent a postcard, the 66 or compounds will definitely work. Compounds are expensive, but you get to do what you want without much worrying about smoke, lag, high egt's down low.
The 66 would work, but the turbine housing will be the big thing to get right. Greg and Matt are the authorities there.

$3500 for a new to the market turbo that MAY grenade in 20k miles.....(I haven't seen a big VGT last over that yet).
If someone has more than 20k miles on a MTW stage 3+ speak up. We would like to know! (not being sarcastic either)
Yes, you get the best of both worlds. But unless that thing has a warranty since its still fresh on the market, I'd rather spend that $3500 on a set of rods.

Well that was a fun read! So lets start over!
My goal for the truck...
The goal is to make a reliable dd, that can tow and be fun at the track every now and then... Injectors will 190-205 100% nozzles... So choices are single non Vgt, twins, procharger or mtw stage 3-4.... Hp is just kinda of a whatever.... I'm looking for a fun street truck..,

Lol.... not really. I'd love to see your truck put up against superblazin's(james) to see which one DD drives better and towes better....with both trucks runnin 205/100. I bet james' truck runs circles around yours Greg.

Do the single 66 non vgt, you can always turn it into a compound setup down the road and it should do everything you want it to as a single.

I believe kingranchstroker can back this up but we've been tracking his Stage 3 and it has (I believe) over 30k miles on it now. There is absolutely no reason that a MTW Stage 3+ turbo should grenade within 20k miles just because it is labeled a "BIG VGT". It has a properly matched turbine wheel and compressor wheel (unlike other big vgt designs).

Well I don't really have a budget but I have to save for everything I want... I'm a working man on a budget so cheaper is always better!
