Hey guys, just wanted to post a little update on my recent purchases.
I got a 97 obs with stg 1 ff injectors ts chip with php tunes ect ect.
I was less then impressed with the stock turbo with the new injectors so I thought I would up grade to a irate t4 SS mount with a lasb bell turbo s300. I also upgraded to jakes complete e-fuel system as the oil drain on his turbo kit goes into the hole for the mechanical pump. I had a 6.0 intercooler laying around so in it went at the same time. The hpop got upgraded to a srp1.1 as the fuel filter bowl is out anyway and I was getting a cel for low psi in the hotter tunes.
Well it's all back together and running real nice!! Very smooth now. The truck pulls just as hard on my tow tune now then it did on the hottest tune before the upgrades. A lot less smoke and more responsive also. Just cruising down the freeway It pulls 2-4 psi boost. The stock turbo had nothing.
Haven't towed anything yet, but on my kill tune so far can't get it over 1100 deg. Very happy.
The only real hiccup I had was the down pipe that comes in jakes kit, needs to be totally revamped and modified to make it fit down the back of the engine.
If you got a chop saw and a good mig welder and fairly handy it's not a big deal.
My old stock turbo could pull 35 psi of boost with no Ic. The new turbo is pushing 38 -40 with the Ic.
Jake said its good for 1250 cfm of air. We will see how she does on the next trip out towing. :redspotdance:
