Good advice! Now I know to stick around the day they are to be delivered. How you liking the power? And how are you running stage II's on a stock turbo?

If I were you I would not mess with stage 1's... Just go to the stage 2's.... a set of 180/100 will play fine with the stock turbo.

Hell I ran 238/100's for a while on the stockish SD turbo (1.00 exhaust housing) and other then WOT it was fine, even fun.

Yup stock turbo, power wise?......... Feels like a completly different truck. I went from maxing at 19lbs to 29lbs now and spools up there quick. Deffinately agree with CSIPSD go with the stage 2's.

Remember your stock turbo has a 1.15 exhaust housing, mine had a 1.00 or .84, I cant remember now.

Lower drive pressures with the 1.15, means a happier turbo.

Interesting. I know your a beast in the PSD world and I'm not trying to undermine you... but stage II's, tunes, exhaust and intake and the entire truck will be happy???

Yup... Might want to add a 17* HPOP to the mix, but the turbo will be fine.
