Message: [QUOTE="madpowerstroke, post: 665222, member: 5867"] [b]UPDATE:::[/b] Just wanted to up date on some things. First off I got James's stage 4 turbo back and not happy with it. I tried a new tweek to the turbo for him, as well as mine and didn't work as good as I thought. Yes the power was insane but the reliability not so well. When I took the turbos apart his and mine I noticed that the front plate bearing was eating it's self. I will be building a regular stage 3 or four to send back to James, but me well I will keep playing with the tweek until it's good to go. Basically I stuffed a bigger turbine in then the production 3 and 4 that I sell to see what would be effected. I have tried some new things to the stage 3 I now have on the truck just because it's mine truck and it's part of research and development. I told James what I was going to do on his turbo that I sent him and he was ok with it, but now I will build a regular sized turbine wheel stage 4 for him, might be a stage 3. Why the change from stage 4 to 3 well while I wait for the new stage 4 compressor to come in I do have the new stage 3 wheels he might want to try it. I don't have anyone running the new stage 3 wheel until now, who ME. I just built the turbo and stuck it in the truck yesterday and drove to work. Let tell what I noticed about it, spool is faster, throttle response is great, better then old wheel. It is cleaning the 225/75, still need to get the fuel system upgraded and HPOP pressure up. At less than 1/4 throttle the truck will get to 60 mph very easy, at about 1000 rpm boost is coming on, I rolled into the throttle on way to work at 75mph, the boost climbed as soon as I pushed on throttle to about 20psi then bam the boost comes on so strong that the boost needle went from 20psi to 40psi right now, and I was only at 1/2 throttle. So I backed off and continued to get to work, when my shift ended I was driving back home and when I was close enough to the house I nailed the throttle down to see what it would do, fuel dropped to 20 psi, boost hit 20psi then bam 40psi, and then needle slowed enough to see it moving but still move quick all the way to 55psi one of the pipe boot blew off. I think with the fuel upgrade and the dual HPOP setup this turbo will hit 60psi very easy. It is one nasty turbo and if the upgrades I did can hold together then it will be a great turbo. The turbo feels stronger then the stage 4 I have right now, until I get the new wheels in for that one. I will keep members updated on this mad turbo. I will also after I get the truck back from Jesse Warren be taking some video of the speedo and run the track with it. [/QUOTE]
