Yep. If it hasn't broken in a year and a half of abuse at 450/1000, I figure 500/1100 should be okay. I'm just trying to make sure my buddy with the CTD stays in his place, **behind me**.

Joe, I think you'll like the 38R. I put a van turbo on my truck to sell it. Once the van turbo lites up, it really lites up! But the 38R definitely spools quicker and feels smoother power throughout the rpm range. Gotta take tuning into consideration as well.
Ken, curious to hear how the QSSB works for you!

BTW, I just pulled the intake tube off and checked the turbo yesterday -- zero in & out shaft play, and just a little side-to-side. I'd be happy as a lark with it if I didn't end up with bigger sticks than I originally planned on.... I run it between 35-40psi and it's it great shape. Go figure.
