i have a Aurora 3000 on my truck. i love this turbo. it spools faster and just builds boost. i got it when i only had turned the fuel screw a half a turn and the smoke screw bottomed. it would build a good 33psi. now with 3200 spring fuel screw maxed all teh way throttle linkages tighened and the fuel cone ground a bit she hits 45psi adn never gets over 1300 degrees. towing with this turbo is easy do not have to watch the pyro at alll. i was pulling about 13,000 pounds on interstate going 60-65 i hit 1350 for a second or two then it started to cool back down. so times i wish it was more laggy so she would smoke more at low throttle . but with a load she builds 10-15psi at start then spools straight to 45. hang on

most turbos you buy are "internally wastegated" they're just externally controlled... how ever i'm not too familiar witht he ATS turbos; looked them over online but nothing more. i am currious how a turbo could be 100% internally controlled...

yeah; first born child wouldnt be too hard to give up... i believe lefty throws boys and righty throws girls so; you'd just be losing your daughter... although you wouldnt be able to have a son since they took lefty sooo your shafted anyways... i think i can do things with one arm and hobble around on one leg

as long as it wasn't my right leg... it'd be kinda hard to reep the benefits of that compound set-up that i became a unic for
