That is true, but it does have a 1 year warranty which I think is what the pmax has.

Yea might give the mad doctor a chance...I've only heard good things about his turbos....a stage one would work nicely...or a hybrid...

I am buying a turbo in the next couple weeks and I am really leaning towards a stage one. I prob won't go any bigger than 155 sticks so it should be perfect for me.

My goals are making it faster but still able to safely tow. not sure how much it weights but i pull a bumper pull trailer with over 35+ square of roof shingles a load so i think its quite a bit. dont have much money so cheaper is better.. i seen this turbo on S366 Turbo

and was wondering if anyone thinks its any good.. this is were i got my injectors.. and the cheapest turbo i have seen...

and also how fast should my truck be about.. i had all this work done to my truck that i listed in my first post and it seems like my truck is about the same or worse than stock before all the work . kinda disappointed for spending 10 to 12k

I'm running a idp Xtreme street tune on my truck and before my turbo started sticking it was pretty quick. A big difference from stock.

well i tried literally 10 plus different tunes for them and all of them are not working right. i dont know what the problem is. when the guy was doing all that work to my truck could of he done something wrong?? I noticed my a/c doesnt work. and also my truck started making a whining noise like the belt or something when im between 15 to 30 MPH. they wrote the tunes for 155cc and the truck would not run right.. the idle would be all wrong and even try to die.. so i asked them if your doing 155cc tunes on 135cc injectors would it mess up and he said maybe so he wrote the tunes for 135cc the truck ran alot better. so im thinking they guy didnt even put the 155cc injectors in. i wanted 190cc but he told me it would melt my engine to go done one so i told him ok 175cc is fine.. well then when i got my truck back he told me he put 155 in and charged me the price for 190cc and told me it was safer for my truck.. but i dont know what gave him to right to put what he wanted in my truck.

Yeah that sounds fishy. It could definetly have been something the mechanic that fixed your truck did. Did you try a tune for stock injectors just in case he didn't swap them at all?

isnt 135cc stock? and thats what im saying when the guy did a tune for 155cc the truck ran like ****, wouldnt build boost. couldnt even power brake the truck only lot of black smoke would roll out.. then they did a stock tune 135cc and it ran fine..

0 to 60 19.82s And the quarter mile 21.89 @ 64.91mph
