hey joe... i'm not going to try to argue with you, but the difference i felt when i switched to the 5.6k was quite a bit over the 10k. all it does is gives it that much less resistance and makes more oil pressure, but i don't know the way that you did yours and i'm not sure if the way you did yours could somehow be opposite. i see quite a bit more smoke with my 5.6k than the 10k as well. remember Joe... not trying to argue with ya...

not arguing, there are pics of my set-up in my albums in webshots, the formula is simple math, do a search on ohms law and you can plug your volts and ohms and amps into the formula, too much to get into here, if you plug inline it will work, if you stuff into the back of the plug then there is room for error. if less is more then why do people put the potentiometers inline with an 18k setting? hmmm food for thought..lol, no fighting just stating

good lord neal do you ever sleep? ok here you go, the black intakes on our trucks that run the length of each hed have a 2 inch opening, the 00-03's all have a 3 inch opening. you have 2 choices after installing the intake for the y-pipes, if you are running the intercooler than get the y-pipe of the early 99's pickups. if you dont run the cooler than get it for the early vans. they run no cooler but still have the 3 inch holes. my advice, if you are going to upgrade do it all at once and put the pick-up on with the intercooler, either way the intake is a direct bolt in

Ahh that makes since. If I go aftermarket intake or late '99-'03 then I can use the '00-'03 y-pipe and have a larger volume hole. Thanx. It seems that that would be easier, but a bit more costly, to do that than try to find a y-pipe they only made for 1/2 year. I could probably go to junk yard and get y-pipe and intakes for cheap and problem solved. Maybe banks' y-pipe for '00-'03 is cheaper than ours because of less demand. I'll see.

you have to get the early 99 y-pipe because the turbocharger outlet is smaller on it, when they go late 99 and up the outlet of the turbo is bigger
the physical intake on the heads needs to be off the late 99-03's because the hole is upgraded to 3 inch, the outlet of all the y-pipes is 3 inch, if i'm confusing anybody let me know and i'll try to get some pics, but the wifey stole the dam camera again so i will have to do it tomarrow

Makes since except I didn't think the outlet on our y-pipes was 3" I thought it was 2-3/8"
Anyway, If I get a '97 compressor housing pipe from banks and a '00-03 y-pipe from banks. that sounds like that would work. As long as I had the bigger intakes installed. Does that make sense?

i think so, the banks kit has 2 seperate pieces correct? if so then i think i understand and then yes that should work, however i think you'll find that the 99 y-pipe is cheaper then the 2 banks pieces

barely any smoke, great mileage, cant even get the egts out of control even in the tire shredding program. with 14k behind me.
only problem is we cant keep tires on it???

Neal and Joe while the 3 inch intakes are nice alot of power can be made with the 2 and whatever inch intakes that are on our trucks. not sure of the numbers but LukeCline used them for quite a while before getting the billet aluminum ones.

Some food for thought...
A 1" pipe has an area of 0.785 sq in
A 2" Pipe has an area of 3.14 sq in
A 3" pipe has an area of 7.06 sq in
Note : I am using ID pipe and not OD pipe in the calculations...
When ever you double the size of a pipe you Quadruple the Contained Volume...and have less pressure loss...but then again, you all know that...

need clarification
I've been reading about all these mods and would like some clarifcation.Topics to clear up-15*vs.17*hpop,stageII - where to get them,on 10k mod coonhunter said he used 5.6k-is this = to because he just didn't need the extra resistance?? And finally when you all qoute parts maybe you can let us know source-that is as long as you don't have to kill us after.. One more thing 1.0 turbo???
