The best intake is one you can make yourself for pretty cheap... It's refered to as a Tymar or 6637 mod

Basically remove the old air box, put a 45* bend piece of 4" pipe in to the intake hose and put a Napa 6637 filter on that sits where the box used to be.

Cheap and flows a lot better. Some guys use AFE filters and other re-usables, just DON'T use a K&N. The paper 6637 works great though.

As far as exhaust, get a 3" downpipe, delete the cat, and straight pipe it wherever you want it. Most guys i've talked to make their own exhausts for it. I did 5" stacks and i love them!

If you have a drop in filter in your stock box consider your self one the few. The complete intake systems work better. The stock boxs is trash. Its made much worse when you add a K+N filter. The rubber surround is too hard to seal correctly and IMO every K+N I have have ever seen has way too big of voids to filter the air in my truck.

Cost can vary from $40 to 150. here is a picture of mine that cost some where around $100. Picture is from when I had it on my 95.

I have seen were people take and clean up the in intake tube and exhaust at the turbo does any one know more about this and how much it helps and does any one know how much trans fluid it takes to fill the truck my book says around 16qts the trans is an auto and did the 95 come with a garret turbo stuck from the factory also thanks for the previous info it is very helpful

1. there isn't much you can do to the intake tube at the turbo...
2. for the trans i'd put in about 14qts to start then check it and then just add a little at a time till it's full. you aren't going to be able to get all the trans fluid out
3. all of our trucks came with garret turbos stock
