One line of advice I would give is.....
Don't fool yourself into thinking "I only want 5psi of boost, that will be more than enough."
Boost is like crack, you try it once, you WILL want more and then you WILL be breaking parts....end of story.

Ok that was more than one line of advise.

AYE!!!!!! Que Blastima!!!!!

The issue with a 75 dollar turbo is you know nothing about it! Buy a turbo that you know something about its compressor map and how it matches up to what you are doing. There is nothing like building a setup around something you know nothing about to find it does not work. Then money lost.


We do offer a full system to bolt on to your truck, but its not cheap. I am just being honest.

Sure, get rid of the STS kit and get a front mount. heheh. Well, its possible to get power with that kit, but hard to say what it will really make though. What do you need help with? I mean what are you stuck on?
