Wow, maybe while my truck is up on their rack I will have them swap out my Silver 66 (yes on their rack right now-ruined a cylinder and Justin is going to have to rebuild my motor) might as well switch, right. J/k my wife is already going to leave me when I show her the bill for the rebuild...

Thats what i was thinkin 53!! Our low geared G56's might play very well with that thing with the right fueling!!

 

what size injectors would it take to light this beast off??? 90hp???any of you turbo experts think this thing could/is streetable???is there a better turbo to use that is equal??would a guy be better off getting a regular K31 from somewhere like city diesel for around 1k???

 

There are several members that are running the A5K for pulling/daily driving,which is a ATS version of the K31.

But the regular K31 exhaust housing is way to big to spool.

 

thats kinda what I was thinking....seems the A5k would be a better choice then the PS71 they are way cheaper too..

 

I'm amazed at what people are willing to pay for a modded turbo!!! The K31 is a $750 turbo. A modded exhaust housing is $450 with out a gate and you can get someone else to provide a gated housing for maybe $600 or you can put on a controllable external waste gate for $250. This really isn't rocket science. People are just trying to cram as big a turbo as possible to meet the 2.8 inducer rule for sledpulling. KS

 

My truck is getting set up for a straight up pulling truck within the next month or so. What do you guys think would be the best turbo for the truck? I'm upgrading my injectors to Flux 3 or 3.5, doing the Stage 3 cp3 or dual cp3s, smarty, cam, and springs.
I want the best turbo for the $ and that will be big enough to handle the fuel that I'll be throwing at it.

 

silver bullet is a good turbo has a very small amount of lag but runs good on the street mine is driven everyday to and from work and tow a mastercraft boat no prob

Hey...I WAS one of those oversped A5k's!

 

you put that thing through hell, though, and it lived suprisingly long.

I would but a Aurora 5000 over a Silver Bullet in a heartbeat

 

Why?(Just curious for when I need to buy one)

 

No wastegate = high EGT????? Um...no unless you are pushing big big fuel. Then you can plumb and external wastegate or use a larger exhaust housing for it. To not push it off its MAP.

The A5k is a beast in the "center section department" compared to any S-300 base turbo.

For a budget high hp build or where a single is mandated...A5K is the choice
