Message: [QUOTE="madman1234509, post: 439137, member: 3910"] I wouldnt say its a waste of money compared to a drop in charger..... Its apples to oranges... Obviously a stock 64mm charger with a batmo isnt going to out perform a 71mm billet, ball bearing turbo. Its just not going to happen. But for someone who doesnt want to drop 1300 on a new turbo it may be a good option for them. And I wasnt under the impression that a drop in batmowheel, for an already billet wheeled, ball bearing turbo would out perform it, nor did I know that was the word going around. The only thing I would ever change up if I had a garrett or precision is maybe put the GTX wheel in it, but even then its a lot of money and is it really worth the gains? And what exactly makes it an EDE wheel? Isnt it just a precision wheel? Like its been shown. Youre probably going to get most of the gain you can out of a high end turbo the way it comes. Obv the engineers made the billet wheel thats in it stock to flow the best for that kind of turbo, or else why would they be making that performance product. Thats why you pay way more for a precision or garrett ball bearing than a bullseye journal bearing with a cast wheel. Why people would tear into a nice turbo and put a batmo in it is beyond me.... Not sticking up for the batmowheels because I dont really have a preference, I prefer ball bearing chargers, and would rather save and spend the extra money on them. But a somewhat cheap upgrade for the average joe who drives his truck around town and doesnt know any better, it may not be a bad choice as a drop in. You have to figure, honestly, how many regulars get on this 6.4 section or any forum and mod these trucks compared to how many people just buy these trucks to just have a truck. [/QUOTE]
