Default Turbonetics turbo ??

Looking at buying a turbonetics turbo stage 1 for my 04 6.0.

Can't find anything online as far as reviews and vids.

Does anyone have any experience with them on their 6.0??

Cheers

I had a buddy try one a LONG time back and didn't like it. Currently the PowerMax or a '03 turbo (both drop-in) are the flavors of the month.

Truly depends on your end usage and goals. What are you paying for the Turbonetics??

The turbonetics isn't a drop in deal either, so if you're buying a used one make sure it has the mount kit. I've not heard many good things about it. It's a TINY turbo, no one noticed much over stock, requires a different mount/drain setup.

Go with the p-max for the money.

I priced out a garret powermax today, 1,900 all in. Figured that was pretty reasonable.
What is the madmax?

I also read about a new powermax the ssx....
