I think I would do the oil first with an early 99 15* pump you probably wont get all the benefit of the new turbo

Would you like to be a proprietary tester for a 20* hpop? So far no one with a modified Early 99 is on my list. If youre interested i'll tell you more.

Personally I did turbo first. Big oil will be on my truck in a few months.

Well, i don't know.. that's the only bad part about being a proprietary tester The benefits can be things such as no P1211 light, steady 3000psi oil pressure, less smoke, more HP and torque, basically big oil for a very very cheap price.

But let me tell you with how much i love my truck, im going to be the first proprietary tester. So if anything goes wrong on the first pump, it will happen to me..

Swamps already tried this and IIRC most of the units have failed and they no longer sell the 20* pumps. Also another company has been testing modded stock pumps for a LONG time with no word on them yet, id say he must be having problems too.

I believe it was bad hose conections that burst. Not necessarily his design that was flawed mechanicaly.
