PowerMax Turbo
I'm looking into a PM turbo.My stocker is fine,I'm just looking for some whistle 
.
I did a search on here about them and it seems I can run it on my stock tune,Correct?
I in no way want to tune my truck at all.All I want is the new turbo.
Do I have to worry about my headgaskets blowing with this turbo?
I've never had any problems with my truck and I don't want to cause any either just because I want more whistle.
Thanks for the advice!

They put different injector control parameters in it. Other than that you'll have to ask them. www.powerhungryperformance.com. I see, thanks to Sean, that they have some new FICM tunes available, so go check it out.

npccpartsman, are you using a ficm tune? I didn't know that would help with mpg's, i'm using mat's tunes & noticed a 1-2 mpg drop after upgrading to the the powermax. His tunes are geared for power/performance

I'm not looking for any power gains at all.Really reliability is what I'm after.My truck will sit for two weeks and I always worry about it freezing up.Ive read the PM won't freeze up near as easily.

if you are just looking for the whistle, u could get a wheel off an 03 turbo or get an 03 turbo. without tuning, the pm will make ur truck slower and even more sluggish. it would b worth it more going to the 03 turbo is all ur after is whistle

I've been running a tuned FICM for 2 years. I was running an ID tuned FICm for performance that hurt my mileage but would rock the house. I switched to the PHP tune for mileage and more intown driveability. Two totally different animals.
