I have from just under the cab jumped my exhaust up to 4" already and thats feeding into 5" stacks. Also can anyone recommend a low cost (short budget) upgrade for the intake side of the turbo? i.e. tube you used from something else and or a good filter? I am convinced the slinky hose although its small is still costing me that little extra power I am after. Just trying to think outside the box basically. Thanks guys and merry christmas!

I have a extra 3200 gov spring still in the package! pm me your address and i will drop it in the mail!! I dont need 2 off them!

I did some looking online for a turbo today as the guy that I was gonna get mine from quoted me 150 over the original quote 2 months ago. I found an HX35 from cx racing on ebay suppose to be brand new in the box delivered to my door for around 300? Does this sound fishy or a good buy? It says it replaces the turbo for a 96 thru 98 with a manual, this shouldn't cause any prolem on my old auto should it?

From what i have read a new turbo for $350 is probably CHINA made and is not worth the oil that goes through it! I would would strongly suggest researching your purchase a little more and making sure that is in fact a genuine HOLSET turbo.
