1. I am still stuck on either getting the turbo updated with the housings
2. 4-5 gsk kit
3. rack plug

alot of ppl do the comp wheel upgrade to make the 35/40 hybrid, theyre good for i think 500 hp, also the exhaust housing will be a little harder to spool but it will build more boost, its a cheap alternative to an aftermarket turbo

I wouldnt run no more than 40psi of boost, any more an you run the risk of blowing a head gasket. I know people have run more than that an so did i before i had the head work but one to many times an it'll pop (like mine, you learn from experiance) or maybe the first time.

the compressor upgrade is well worth it, the 16 is going to be real laggy with an auto, i would suggest not going any bigger than a 14 cm housing. (94cummins12V) ended up with my hybrid i built just ask him how it is working out for him.

i love that turbo it sounds relly nice and supports the power i need, for towing and daily driving, its a little lagy but not to bad with the 5 speed

FYI the 35/40 hybrid won't support 500 HP more like 400 maybe 450.
