Heh... ever think of just buying corvette or something?

F*ck corvettes when you can build a turbo diesel to be faster, get better mileage, hold 3x the amount of people, AND tow that corvette when it breaks down

The main reason would be the drive press. With cutting the wastegate and that small 12cm housing the drive press would go through the roof.

And when that happens it chokes the engine and you atuall lose more power than you gain

well i had a 94 but sold it and havent changed that. I plugged the waste gate cause my truck wont make more than 30lbs with it plugged so. And i moved the 6 plate around and put a cold air on it and it helped alot and it is a 2500.And i am about to order some GSK springs.
