PMS again!!
I ordered a DP Tuner today along with a SS HPX, in tank/pre pump with filter and boost annihilator all from ITP.
I also need to address my surge issues and was thinking of ordering a Turbonetics turbo but may go with the ATS housing instead($$$). The only reason I wouldn't get the Turbonetics is if I order a different converter instead.
With all the tranny talk going on lately, I feel the need to do something to hopefully help it live longer. I will be ordering up a BTS VB early next week as well. I'm also thinking of a different torque converter http://www.puredieselpower.com/catal...ter-p-250.html
Will these 2 mods to the tranny help it live longer with the extra power? I have 123,000 on the trans now and the fluid has been changed every 30,000 by the PO.

I'd also go with the ATS housing and the BTS valve body, as opposed to just the turbonetics replacement turbo.
I think if I were to upgrade the entire turbo, I'd jump straight to a garrett bb or similar, larger turbo, that could handle bigger injectors.
Scott are you posting from the road right now?

Save your money and cancel the HPX. You won't need it. The BTS Big Oil system will take care of it. That is why I am doing the Big Oil setup. Have to call BTS tomorrow for the paperwork to get it sent to me with the Regulated Return Line setup.
