I cannot say, I have not run the van turbo. Ask bdrummonds, rampage or jtharvey. I am sure one of them will be along before too long. Off the top of my head I would say that it should allow you to make higher boost #s without superheating the air and eliminate the surge there. At a minimum it should reduce drive pressure.

I saw that turbo listed the other day, you will need an exhaust flange adapter avail from beans for $95 to mount this turbo to your downpipe.
as far as performance, the 1.15A/R(which I have) with stock injectors, is a little slower to spool off the line, but the mid range and higher rpm power is awesome. It will prove to be just what I wanted for a towing turbo.

Its not a van turbo then. It's just a 1.0 exhaust housing for a truck (non-wastegated) and then the EBPV for the van turbine just bolted on the end. Looks like youre going to need the exhaust flange outlet adapter. No matter what size the outlet is, if its for a F truck and not an E van, the downpipe will fit.

This also allows me to retain my stock unit in it's entirety as a backup should something go wrong with the BB unit. Should something go wrong with the long block, all of it may be up for sale.

Why would that be though. I would have thought that the 1.15 would be the performance package while the 1.0 would not be.
