Well, I want to upgrade my turbo on my 97 12 valve.

I currently have a HTT 62/65/14 on my truck with DDP4s and a zero plate with a 4kgsk. My cyl. head also is Stage 2 Ported & Polished, o-ringed, studs, 5 angle valve job , backcut valves and 60# springs.

I can build boost at about 1100-1200 rpm and by 1300rpm is at 48psi, I accredit this to the cyl. head porting and polishing (thanks Garrett).

BUT I run out of air and my egts are through the roof.

SO, I wanted to know what turbo is for me.
I like the II Silver62, but I'm not sure on how it will spool and cool.

I also tow a #7000 camper, BUT I have a valet switch waiting to go in so when my wife drives she wont have to worry about EGTs and having the truck go sideways.

I could REALLY use everyone opinions and alot of them at that.

 

Twins.....

 

My opinion on turbos is: There good.

 

you won't gain a ton goin to a silver. The head mechanic at industrial injection told me if you can spool a silver 62 you can spool any 66mm charger, so why not get one of them. I'd second the TWINS suggestion. You have all the supporting mods for them already.

 

it will run alot cooler if you have that 65mm turbine wheel upgraded to a 71mm wheel. call industrial injection. they were going to upgrade my 66/14-65 to a silver bullet for 850$. or throw an s400 under what you already have.

 

Build that top turbo into a mean set of twins!
