Default Trick turbo kit

Is anyone running the trick performance turbo kit. I'm leaning towards buying the stage two kit and am wanting to run around 12 pounds and meth. Also when I first started this project I was going to go supercharger so I currently have longtube headers. 1 3/4" primaries with 3" collectors, will these hurt my performance with the turbo.

Go back and study the pics of the turbo kit. Then look at the hundreds of pics of the turbo kits installed. Then come back and bump this thread.

Your going to lose the headers with a turbo kit. Call rick, and he will help you pick the right kit for your needs.

You cannot use headers with Trick Turbo Kit. It comes with passenger side turbo manifold and you will need to re-install stock manifold on driver side.

Give Rick a call over the turbo kit stage based on your engine size and future goal.

I have stage-4 but wish I went with stage-5. I am running 18 psi.

I just wanted you to study the setup's to see what is involved and how it works. KB's kits and Tricks are designed to work with manifolds which are good for well over 1000hp.

Call Rick... shortie header is all you can run on the driver side. But run the stock manifold is better.

You will need to sale your headers.
The stock drivers side manifold is all you will need.

Give a call to go over your needs. I will need to know what your plans are for the truck. And the combination. Engine, cam, pulling not pulling etc.

This will get you the best kit for your application.
