I DD mine, have towed a fair amount (pulls awesome!!) and have about 40k turbo miles on it. No problems 7psi on low boost and 10psi on high, and every once in a while when I feel really spunky, turn up the boost controller to 12

well, Ive put about 800 miles on mine since the turbo. So Far everything is great, I even handed a modded audi S4 his *** tonight on the way to Home Depot! I talked to him at the next light and all he could say was " THAT THING IS F**KIN FAST FOR A TRUCK" . Glad I didn't take the wifes car tonight I will be towing my car trailer with my T-bucket in it next weekend for the Good Guys show - 6,000 lbs. so I'll let you know how it goes. I'll probably drop it down to 5 or 6 psi for towing just to not work it as hard. But so far Truck hasn't skipped a beat with the Trick Turbo kit.

Good Idea, until you know how your truck is going to react. Remember no drag racing up a hill while a trailer is connected.

Yeah I know. Its mostly flat where im going anyway, Im sure it will run fine under low boost and not hotrodding it down the interstate, Its a 24ft enclosed trailer so there won't be much weaving in and out of traffic
