I get 14 mpg all city often hard driving. I have about 10 months on the turbo. Have not been late to work once
as far as it being a DD, it has to be its all I own.

There is a chart somewhere on this forum that shows flow and recommended tube size per hp/desired use.
Other than my bike my truck is all I drive. I get 18+mpg on the highway and 12mpg in stop and go city.

Cause it may be a little while until I get it.

As far as exaust gos I would get ya some long tube headers with duals and cut outs for the track high flo cats just do it right the first time and be done with it. I dont know what youre finances are like but if I had it all to do over I would just borrow 10gs and do it all at once well maybe 15gs is more like it.

I want to flow as much horsepower as I can, It may take a little bit a time but I'll get there. So, Duals would be the way to go then, done. 3'' pipes, long tubes, and Breeze mentioned something about ports for the "Cat's," I was under the impression that we needed to take them off for more performance. We can keep it legal too?
P.S. Breeze your truck is BAD!!! It really moves the ?#@% out!

Ive heard the exact opposite from a guy up the street from me that builds race cars. He has a dyno as well, But most of the stuff he does are vintage race cars but has done hundreds of turbo setups. He said he also gained a few hp. going from a smaller size dia tube starting out and increasingly getting larger toward the end like a megaphone. Maybe its turbos that like singles better??
