Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 370's

Do you need to upgrade to a bigger turbo in order to run 370's? Now I have a stock turbo on and I know that I can run 300's with no problem. I am running a TST#6 plate.

You can get away with it since you have a 180 pump. The 215 pumps(stick trucks) have a hard time breathing with them on a stock turbo. I would a laest put a 16 cm housing on the exhaust side for some breathing room, their only $150.

i love my 370's... ... they give a right nice haze at idle... . although they have a tendency to get a little hot... . im still running my stock 35 w/ a 16 housing.....

I ran 370's with a stock turbo and everything else in my sig (minus the new turbo and ATS manifold) and didnt have a problem. I could have gotten the temps up to 1400° if I tried, but that was floored for a while going up an incline in OD. Smoke was always controllable too. I didnt do much towing, Maybe 4K here and there and didnt have a problem.

You'll need more turbo. To much heat for the 35, even on a motor with a 180 pump, same as mine. I could make lots of heat, even before the plate was slid and the 191s went in. If you only had the stock plate and the 370s, you'd probably be OK with the 35.
