ATS housing ???

after reading a post from Kris, i have been thinking about saving my pennys and buying the ATS housing. my reason being, i have a brand new stock wheel in my toolbox and i have been told the WW kills low end torque. ideally i would like to get a TN turbo but that is going to take a looooong time. so in my quest for more out of my truck and more lowend torque i have considered the ATS housing and stock wheel. i also have the 1.0A/R banks wastegated turbine housing already on the truck. what do you guys think????

Your not really going to gain anything with the ATS housing... Does your truck surge now? If not just keep saving for a new turbo... You will not get your money back out of the ATS housing... sucks but true...

Yes it would be. You cant break one of them... Cheap to rebuild... hold any boost you want to throw at it... Doesnt matter what you throw on the stocker... its still only rated for 25#'s

With a TN unit they only offer a wastegated unit at this time. If you want to delete the EPBV then they offer a elimation plate for it... but I use mine for a Exhaust brake.

I do have a non wastegated housing for my BB that I am planing on installing in the next few days...

I have been running with the wastegate locked down for over a year and no ill effects.
