Wicked wheel is waisted money. My 03 turbo with stock wheel still ran better than my dads 04.5 with wicked wheel.

Also talking about two different exhaust wheels on the turbo the 03 turbine was different than the 04.5 and normally had a smaller compressor wheel

I understand that, so its not a great comparison but still, he needs to just save his monies then go non vgt.

I installed a powermax on my Buddy's truck with 190/stock injectors and it runs damn good.

I wonder how the nozzles affect how it runs…

I'm gonna probably stay VGT, I think. Powermax, and I'll probably send it to barder in a year or so. I want to be in the mid -upper 500s for power, and a clean setup on the street, where it'll spend 90% of it's time.

Small "update" only thing "new" is tuning. Written for the pmax, also now have studded tunes (SRL+ and Extreme). Made a night and day difference! Rarely exceed 1/2 throttle and it'll light the tires pulling into traffic. Love the shifting now. Stays in Direct gear up to 50-55, so I can can roll into it without having to wait on the turbo. Smokes a lot less as well(spools soooo much quicker, and I had no complaints before

Well, she's finally let me down. Kinda. Got a hpo leak, so I'm abandoning her at work for now.

Cab coming up in 2 weeks. Getting Steve's full kit. Thinking about doing high rev valve springs and push rods, and a RR from Marty's

Also will have quad 08 Kr buckets soon.

No good. Still banking on not needing studs huh?

I've been planning to do them since I had the truck. Furthermore, a hpo leak has nothing to do with studs…so not sure why that question seemed relevant…

Pulling the cab and not doing them is what's surprising me. Where's the hpo leak at that you need to pull the cab to fix it?

Powerstroke214 · Jan 20, 2015

There's a hpo leak. I'm not taking off to fix it. It's sitting til I get to to tejas. Thr hpo leak (probably something small) will be fixed. In order to do studs, the cab will come up. I'm not sending it to the shop 20x. It's going once.

X2. I would do studs one at a time if its never puked coolant.

I thought you were going to pull the cab and not do studs and I was like you are crazy, at least do them one at a time! It actually works very well as long as your gaskets weren't already damaged.

I'm doing a horrible job communicating lol. And Sperman is worsening it. I have the AP 6.0 solution kit or whatever that homo calls it. I've been running a pmax and studded tunes. No problems. Slight coolant leak. SLIGHT. Because I'm taking this semester off and working, I don't have time to fix the hpo leak and do S&B egr delete. So. It's going in 2 weeks to get studded and all will be well.

Sperman seems to have overlooked my mention of the AP kit, which includes studs.
