With a good air intake, and good exhaust, whats the most agressive plate you can run with the stock turbo and a turbo master boost controller ? What I am getting at is i'd like to put a #100 plate and 4K GSK after I get the tranny upgrades. But until I can afford turbo mods what plate would you reccomend ?

#10 plate is a good plate for a stock truck. that being said i run a 100 plate foward on my stock auto and turbo I just am easy on the throttle and its fine, can't get really high EGT about 1050 max pre turbo

Okay, I am not going to put any plate in until I get the 5" exhaust, tranny VB & TC and guages. Just was wondering what max plate the stock turbo with boost control could handle.

Something's amiss on your truck then. I had a 3KGSK and #10 full forward - .030" and could bury the pyro on a dyno run with a Scotty and straightpiped stock exhaust.

Just watch your gauges... The #10 low end profile won't be kind on your tranny though.

But really, the turbo isn't your limiting factor.. adjust the wastegate for 35psi and run it..

what could be the problem then that is the max temp i can get uphill hard in to it....not to hyjack sorry

I would say you can run the #100 and not get into EGT issues until playing. Also if you bump your timing up to 16* or so that would help with EGTs and top end power.
