You dont need a Super phatshaft. Judging by your mods in your sig if thats it, thats way too big of a turbo for you. The Phatshaft line is the better option. And I say that because of the lag, and drivepressure that will be involved in spooling up the turbo because of the large heavy exducer side of the turbo. Do you have last months Diesel Power? There is an excellent article explaining turbos. IMHO, I wouldnt go any bigger then a 62/65/14WG turbo.

No larger then a 62 inducer, and keep in the ball park of a 65 exducer.

Is that what they are recommending, the smaller turbine wheel exducer?

IMO I wouldn't buy any turbo with some retard name attached to it. Call it what it is, s300.

Do you have any tranny work done to your auto? if not, after you put the 6x16s in and a big turbo, I guarantee your tranny will be slippin like poo on a shoe. I'd put money into your tranny before you get injectors.

thats what i was thinking. I'd screw the injectors/turbo idea and do a good converter and light trans build first. chances are you add the turbo/injectors and it feels the same as before because now its slipping worse.

Tranny is gonna be built when it starts to slip to bad. Itll keep me moving until my bank builds back up. Theres no point in putting $800 in a stock tranny and then having to go through it again when something fails. Itll be completely gone through when the time comes. If it aint broke dont fix it as i was always told.
