I got a question- I have an e99, and have everything for the conversion except for new up pipes and y-pipe. If I could get a new GTP38R for less than a D66, should I go that route instead?

I would say yes, because that is what I want. I think the 38 will support over 500 horsepower and I don't think the 66 will, but I might be wrong. I have been before. Are you on staff duty or something? It blows, on a friday night. I had duty yesterday though.

well the turbo's inside are pretty much exactly the same inside the working parts that is or so it was explained to me anyhow, he took my exhaust flapper out and plugged it, machined the air passage for waste gate, we reused the compressor wheel from the van turbo and he said some other things that sounded technical I still don't really understand totally how they work but all i can say for sure is what a diffrence, the bottom end has no lag hardly at all very responsive mid range is same thing its right there, top end is better than before, Now all i need is some injectors an this thing will haul some serious a$$ I love my Powerstroke
