a non wastegated 14cm exhaust housing is $200. though at that point you have $450 spent on a hybrid, which could be put toward a good used turbo.

Yeah i hear ya just trying to find a good used turbo can be a challeng. How many extra ponnies does that hybrid give ya and what kind of egt drop 50 to 100?

thats about impossible to guess. it will help but not much. a 14cm housing will let you rev higher with a few less *'s on the pyro

Guess i will just keep looking for a REAL turbo upgrade not that the hybrid is bad but i guess i want a little more. Thanks for your input:tu:

hybrid will support 450hp with decent egts if u dont tow heavy...atleast in my experience

Well on the poor guys budget it might have to work as I've been bombing my 92 and trying to save for a tripple disk as well,new piston lift pumps for both trucks blah blah blah it never stops!!!!!!:dang:

did you actually dyno 450? or you think it was near that? and what was your hybrid setup?

This is all great info!
Does anyone know if a kit like this requires any machining work or is it bolt and go?

Machining is required, have a look at this:
