Up-grade turbo????
Does anyone run an upgraded turbo, I am trying to squeeze all the power out of my 2001 F350 4x4, I plan to buy the banks intercooler, I already have a banks 4inch exhaust, and a airaid intake I have a programmer on the way, just looking for more ponnies.

Who makes a aftermarket ball bearing turbo?? I was looking at getting the banks Quickspool turbo housing, compressor wheel, and Big Head Wastgate acturator, but that would leave me with the stock turbo.

i was gonna put the mid-range banks kit on my mule.. cost with out installation was gonna be around $2800... i did all the mods listed for just over $1200... i'm sure Banks makes great stuff... but i honestly don't think my truck would run any better with thier stuff than it does now...!

Don't get me wrong. Banks makes quality products. I have a Six gun tuner, but I am starting to wonder if I should just bought a selectable chip instead. The safety features on the Six Gun are what sold me on it.

Actually from what I said above about getting an ATS housing and the wicked wheel. I heard that the ATS takes care of the compressor surge on its own so you wouldn't have to get a wicked wheel. It's a little above $400 for the housing, but hey, it's bigger than stock. It can only help

i got the gtp38r bb turbo it is spendy but well worth the expense 35% more air over the stock turbo
will be able to put bigger injectors in with out blowing too much black soot and the turbo whine is pretty loud also
.
with open element intake turbo stall and surge completly gone so is the turbo flutter.
