Gettin' the itch!

Well, in an hour is my last final for the semester. That being said I am getting the itch to do some truck modifying. Looking for suggestions. I am thinking about a 1.0 A/R exhaust housing for my truck since I don't plan on upgrading injectors any time soon. What you all think? I know that you need to by new seals and such for the swap. How much do those cost and where can I get them at?

How much do the housings run? I'm thinking you can probably do remanned stage 1's for just a little more than the housing and it'll spool fast as heck with injectors and have a good bit more powaa!! lol.

Seals? Do you mean the O rings between the turbo and pedestal and between the pedestal and motor? Those are cheap!

You'd get more from stage1's over a different housing all day long.

Fuel Mileage, power, faster turbo, faster truck.

Just to name a few.

Glenn has offered to sell me his old 1.0 housing, that is why I am considering it. I don't want to spend the money on injectors unless I am gonna go big time, and since I don't have the time or money resources to do injectors, turbo, HPOP, and fuel system right now...

Yea william I'm talking about those seals and any others on the turbo that may need replaced.
