Default now what

i have the mods in my sig and since i did all this im wondering.. now wat? im running the stock turbo and the boost is close 2 40 and the smoke clears up pretty good when it spools which doesnt make much since. i thought about pullin the plate out again but all i would gain is low end smoke and i have enuff of that so whats next?

Manual- double disc clutch, auto- built transmission, if those are taken care of then your ready for a turbo

id go with the 64/71/14 or a 64/71/13 since you got a 5 speed. Be a little easier to control for a daily driver rather than an auto. Should run pretty darn good also.

did you ever think of water meth, or propane?
propane makes a good difference daily driving but wide open throttle i dont think it does as good, ive heard good things about water injection

what did chris and glenn say would work the best?

Tell them what you have and want to do with the truck and they will hook you up with a heck of a turbo.
