Which Turbo?
Everything I have done is listed in my signature. I plan on getting a triple disk TC before I get a turbo, but I was just wondering what would be a good match. I would like a turbo that is good for hauling but not small enough that I peg my pyro within 4 seconds like I do now . Thanks.

I can't believe your running all of that w/ your stock turbo. You'll need at least a 62/12. If you tow I would look at a Silve 62, maybe 64 from II... But you really should run Twins if you want to tow with it, and run it on the street.
How are you running 21* of timing without blowing your head gasket? How do you like all that timing? I think I'm gonna go with 17* for now.

Halerazor, how much do studs run? I thought about just putting a marine headgasket on when she blows. My headgasket has been holding pretty well. I've had it timed to 21* now for about 6 months. The head was retorqued when it was timed. I haven't felt any bottom end loss and it really helped out on the EGTs and fuel milage, before the D/V's anyway. When I get a new turbo, I plan for the boost to be no more than 40 lbs. I forgot to add that right now I have a 100 plate all the way back now. Thanks.

No kidding...especially when you blow the head gasket from too much timing, too much air, and too much fuel...
Studs will run you 4-5 hundred if you install them yourself, and while you have the head off you may as well at least put in a marine HG, maybe even have it o-ringed, otherwise your just asking for trouble. I wouldn't go much more than 17, maybe 18* without at least a marine HG, even then I'd think about studs and o-rings.
