Turbo installation

[weazel]

Right now stock, sad I know but I'm ballon on a budget

Hey I'm gonna be running mine with stock too for a little while. Do you notice a decent difference in power?

 

[weazel]

There is a little more up top, but there is a little more lag to make up for it, my EGT's are up just a tad too. But all in all I think it's a change for the better, it's a healthier in the middle too, I want some 175's to run with it

 

[Kbryant777]

Good to know. I'm gonna run 190/100's I think

 

[weazel]

Sounds like a plan

fwiw....i just left the back turbo bolt out of mine after the first time i pulled the stocker out. you don't really need it and it's a pain in the ass to get to so i just leave it off.

That one took me 10 min to figure out how I was gonna tackle it. But it wasn't bad. I was a little intimidated by it at first but now I know there isn't much to it. Bad thing is tracking say it'll arrive tues but I'm getting shipped outaa town to Arkansas tomorrow so it'll be waiting on me when I get back

Turbo will be sitting at my house today but I'm working outta town this week I should have an update Friday. Looking to be home early Friday morning and that will be first thing on te list.

Just an update...got home from Arkansas yesterday and put the turbo on. Turbo itself wasn't bad but my downpipe and up pipes were a pita. Finally got it squared away and headed to schied diesel extravaganza. Overall the truck has more lag but I'm waiting on some revised tunes from Eric. I'm hoping the tunes will wake it up some more. I can say I love how this turbo sounds compared to the stock 05 turbo. Overal I'm happy with it and I'm sure with some tuning and then adding 190's to the setup it will really make a fun street truck.

Good to here, I want some 190's. I need to get some custome tunes too, I'm still running canned crap

I running extreme x but it's for the stock turbo. They said revising my tunes for the 68 would help it spool. I would def recommend custom tunes it's night and day difference from canned

 

[weazel]

I'm gonna just gotta get the funds together I'm ballin on a budget

I can understand that but you won't regret spending that money.

I got the turbo from lance (stroke of luck) and I can't say enough good things about him turbo was shipped out quickly and he has been a lot of help for installation. I wouldn't be afraid to buy anything from him or his buddy Matt at Cutting Edge again. They both seem like stand up guys!!!
