I am still on the fence on the turbo swap, but I am definately doing the straight pipe, maybe a bigger down pipe. I am thinking a fuel pressure, boost, and egt gauge combination on the a-pillar, and maybe a trans temp and rear differential gauge mounted under the stereo. Does that sound like it would cover what I need?
the reason I say turbo swap is that non intercooled truck has a lil chipmunk of a turbo go to a 91.5-93 or a 94-02 n you will get a way nicer turbo at only couple hundred bucks tops.
