Intercooler is a necessity and get ahold of Typefour here or Typ4 over at OB. He can do the mod for you...

I wish there were some upgrades for the banks turbos, or better yet a BOLT -IN turbo upgrade that would bolt onto our stock up pipe flange.

Where can you get the 60:1 wheel I just picked up a 6.0 intercooler and would like to get a little more out of the turbo?

You're kidding right? Did you just come in here, and post without reading anything?

Wastergated banks, installed when truck was brand new in '92, I still that the original paperwork from the factory that did it. Truck does ok, but could most likely use a new inj pump and sticks. But if i did that, studs, and cam, a better turbo would really wake it up.

if you haven't replaced the ip and injectors since the turbo install and had her timed since,then you would have forgotten how she felt back in '92 because she's lost power gradually over time.you'd probably think it was never so powerful with just a tune up.

True but she is out of her map at 10 psi.

Is that something Joe Blow with a mechanical background can put in? If so, what does such an animal usually cost?

I don't think their "Monster Exhaust" upgrade is actually a 3" downpipe. The owners manual shows it uses the same turbine outlet pipe, it just widens to 3.5" instead of 3" after the muffler.

Can I expect more boost from my ATS 088? I'm currently pushing 15 psi.
