Travis.i thought a 38r to be better than a d66....since I'm starting with a sd engine my manifolds are late style.the spider was free rather than overpriced e99.3"plenums for 25$ new.sd pedistal 40$. A set of doorman bellowd up pipes with collector for 200.all i need is the turbo and i don't need an expensive or time consuming kit.it made sence to me that the savings almost paid for the inj. i may be wrong but to me it made sence.and them sd boys upgrade so the stock parts are cheeeep and I'm poor.I'm only wanting a moderate tow rig.i got other stuff to go fast in.375-400 hp range.if more then so be it. next will be trans....

Looks good Aaron. Haven't forgot about the injector cups yet, I plan on mine tomorrow, then we can take yours out I I can send the tools back. I think Travis is talking about the wicked weel. It is a upgrade for super duty turbos to prevent turbo lag.

Tomorrow I'm just going 200 miles to Flagstaff, AZ. Its one he!! of a hill getting up to Flagstaff. I've gone that way three or four times now and the worse was when I was pulling that trailer behind the 5er and had terrible up pipe leaks. I was down to 23 in 1st, LOL That was a nightmare!

The wicked wheel gen 2 (wwg2) just a billet replacement compressor wheel for the 38r. It's a slight upgrade over the stock 38r wheel.

I still like mine, but I haven't had anything else. I would like to get another one for after the turbo, just to see what the difference is in temps I always heard it was about 200 degrees. I think that would be a good way to compare and verify accuracy or at least compare. I think there is enough space in the next to start position to install another gauge.
