[QUOTE="V-Ref, post: 105194, member: 660"] IMO your thinking about this wrong. Power<Boost<Compressor wheel RPM<Turbine wheel RPM<Exhaust Mass/Volume energy So the short answer is no, a lighter truck will be harder to spool a larger "laggy-ier" turbo, because you won't generate the required exhaust mass/volume energy to spin the compressor/turbine wheel assembly. You would in fact reach redline/shift points on your truck before full boost potential of the turbo was realized. It's been proven time and time again that much more than a 71mm compressor inducer on the compressor wheel is the threshold on our old 7.3s, where the interia in the turbo rotating assembly mass start to cause compromises for DD or towing application. Thuglike is one exception I can think of. Not sure how much towing his rig does. Luke Cline has a GTX4202R/built motor/large nozzles....be interesting to see his results once his rig is up and running. [/QUOTE]
