Default New Turbo??

hey everybody, im new to the site here and was wondering if anyone has put a diferent turbo on their truck?? the reason i ask is becuase the stock variable vane sucks big time when you have a manual behind it. i was wondering how much of a headache it would be to slap a fixed with wastegate on my truck??? im just trying to find any way to make my truck be able to run a little closer to an automatic without spending 15 grand..

I have an Elite VGT-SS, and it's working great, so far. It should be even better after I get some bigger injectors on.

I'll tell you one thing, you get the right vgt turbo with the right tune infront of that 6 speed and you wont beable to shift fast enough.

get rid of that banks ****-gun and get and sct with some healty tunes behind it!!! you will eventually end up needing a clutch....hehe like im running dj&vivians tunes from djs diesel
a good tune will get totally rid of that problem!!! trust me I sold my ****-gun to a kid that had a 6-speed and it did alittle better,, now he has a sct and we had to put a good clutch in it to hold it.....and it runs just as good as a auto
