Thats exactly why I bought the built tranny before the turbo.

If you got a built tranny, Then what are you waiting for, crank up the psi. LOL

How is the lag with these turbos? I remember the first time I saw these turos was on another sight and they got flamed bad. It seems kinda inefficieng to have to fill that long *** tube back to the engine up with air to make boost.......


but obviously its working.

Hopefully the 5.7 will be going in in about 2 months. Hoping to crank the boost up to 13 psi.

It does have a fair amount of lag. Which is not to bad considering I have the upgraded turbo. Tuning helped alot with the lag. Once the 5.7 goes in, the lag should be reduced even more.
