It looks like the Denny T is more aggressive than the last stage of the M&H.

I don't know if I would trust a master power turbo, but that's just me.

I would not want but so much power... That 1500 IFS is not known for being strong at all.

I would track down the low boost issue. Weather it be a boost leak or a turbo problem.

I think it may be a combination of both. I don't trust the turbo and the installation is somewhat shady. The pipes (intercooler and exhaust) are welded to the turbo. Any suggestions for a good replacement? I'm re-doing everything that was done on the truck and want to do it the right way. What do you guys think of the 3-pc exhaust manifolds? Do they make a difference on a 1st gen?

Sorry for my ignorance, what's IFS?

Independant Front Suspension. The pulse style 3 piece manifolds are sweet, if you need a new manifold and can afford it I would get one. If your current manifold is in good condition, it will do fine. Spend the money on other mods first to get you to the point to where a 3 piece manifold is more necessary. IMO (In My Opinion)

Thanks for the info. I figure I'll have to change the turbo since its welded to the pipes. Would be a good idea to change the manifold too. Is the ATS manifold the best one?

I'm not sure, but it seems to be. I think it's pretty much ATS and BD making them.

Those are the only two I've found so far. Don't personally know anyone running them.
