Message: [QUOTE="madpowerstroke, post: 597029, member: 5867"] I really believe that the VGT is the way to go. This is my opinion, and I will in the near future show why. I set out to build a option that would be in par with the compounds and non VGT. So far from the feedback and the experience of actually running one of these turbo has show that it is a good option. The stage 3 and stage 4 have shown to be simple drop it and able to put down big numbers, with small sized injectors. I have many guys out there with stage 3 and stage 4 that will be hitting dynos starting as early as mid march and rest of year. I believe there will be a lot of shocked people when the numbers start to come out. The turbos are very fast spooling turbos, just as fast as compounds and are very powerful as the big non VGT. I hate to state facts but a compound set will only be as powerful as the size of the low pressure turbo. A non VGT same size as a low pressure turbo on the compound running by it's self will produce more power than a compound set at W.O.T. A big VGT turbo will a lot of flow will give you the best of both, acting like a compound quick spooling and the power of a single non vgt turbo. Prices of the big VGT turbos are 2900.00-3400.00 and later this year stage 5 at 3800.00( will be the biggest VGT turbo made ) capable of handling 1200rwhp. So it basically comes down to preference, on what system you want to run, how much you want to spend and how much horsepower you want. The only reason I have replied on this thread is that MTW was brought up by name and just wanted to brig out facts. People have different opinions to what they like, but until tried all of them then the opinion is not 100%. Shawn Elleton has had experience with a MTW, compounds and non vgt so he is possibly the only one that can truly give input here. I can only tell you my opinion on what I know which is the MTW VGT. I don't know how much it cost to set up a compound set and how much power depending on what turbos are used, and how street able you want the truck to be. [/QUOTE]
