smaller turbine housing
in response to advise from a previous thread, im looking into installing a new turbine housing on my 97 PSD. any suggestions as to which brand to use, and what A/R ratio would be good? thanks.

It depends on the future plans for your truck. Are injectors in your future?? If so I would go with a 1.0 a/r. If not some say a .84 a/r works well. Also what do you do with your truck? Do you tow alot? I dont think .84 housing is real good for towing. To small and creates to much drive pressure when your running hard. I got mine from Dale @tymarperformance.

wow, that was a whicked fast response. i dont tow more than a pop up camper. not sure if there are injectors, id guess not. i really dont drive the truck hard. i barely ever take it over 2300 rpm or so before i shift. so you would suggest a tymar 1.0?? also, im not very mechanically inclided. is this something i would be able to install myself?

I third the 1.0, I think the .84 is too small for any modified truck. IMO, if you are planning on bigger injectors in the future, you should stick with your stock 1.15 housing.
