I have one of these turbos , probably one of the first ones Piers had. I originally bought it for my '96, but now it's on my '01 HO. I have a 16cm non-wastegated exhaust. This turbo has posted 36#s of boost, so far. Lack of clutch has kept me from seeing any real numbers from this setup. I hope to rectify that situation in the next month or so.

... not any more! Wait 'til Piers sees what I've already done and in the process of having done right now.



... should be just about done about the time he gets back from Tulare.

NEW GUY QUESTION

All this TURBO talk is starting to get me a little confused,,(doesn't take much sometimes)

First of all. . is our STOCK turbo's (98- stock) actuatored ??

And all this different HOUSINGS your speaking of... Do you just get the NEW (different) housings and put OUR GUTS in to them??



THANKS

Mike,

The stock turbo on the 98. 5-2002 manual trucks and the 98. 5-2000 auto trucks was an HX35 with a wastegate (set at 21). The 2001-2002 automatic trucks have an HY35 tubo that is wastegated also (set at 21). The HO trucks all have HX35's that are wastegated at 26 I believe.



If you have an HX35 then yes you can change the housings on the trubo fairly easily. There is really no advantage unless you are BOMBing. .



Hope I helped.
