i had a Super B Special. Im at about the same elevation and i hated it with my 5spd. With an auto it might not of been so bad but im putting a VGT on it now cause i cant believe how quick those spool.

Well I had a edge comp but it didnt perform well... Idk if had the right wire tapped but I ran it alone and my pedal felt dead and there was no smoke on 5x5 So i stacked it with the superchips and it smoked like a freight train.... I got another question real quick what if I sent my htt back in and got the 12cm exhaust housing will that help it spool pretty quick?? and will i still use the hx-40 downpipe with it?

that would help spool up some but thats still a big turbo for the fuel you have. does superchips add timing? if so don't stack it with the edge anymore , bad for things.
and it will still take the same downpipe if you put the 12cm housing on

if your going to send the turbo back get a 62 with a 13cm exhaust housing and you will be super happy. I liked my 62 as a single but wanted more power and added a 475 under it

A 66 with a 12cm exh? hahaha. Dude just sell that thing and get a 62. And an edge... If you want to add more power later on you can get a BW-S475 and throw it underneath. You can find one for $700 when you're ready. Then just make up some piping or buy a compound kit. For now though you're going to like a 62. As far as the experience you had with the edge, something was wrong. Don't let that bother you. You will be happy with an edge juice and a 62, and you can get both for the cost of that 66...

You would be a lot happier with a 62mm or 64mm.

not to be an *** or anything but everyone told you the 66 was a bad choice.. not saying we know everything about anything but that 66 would be at home on atruck makin double what your makin now.. a 62 with those 150's and some sort of tuner would be TONS better than what you have now...no reason to go against the grain when its proven what works best..

uhm yes and no.. he's been around askin what would be best for a turbo for 3 months and the answers were the same across the board.. the decision to buy such a big turbo after knowing what was going to happen was a poor one
