WOW, what are the specs on that sucker.

I take it that is only available for the LB7's?

2.8" inducer
3" exducer
4" custom billet compressor wheel
60psi gauge recommended

This turbo was made to fit on the LLY Duramax but the PCM has to be dealt with to keep it happy without a turbo to control.

Installed the turbo, 4" downpipe, headstuds & 20% bigger injector nozzles last weekend. WOW the truck is scary fast in street trim at 7000#. The driveablilty is just short of amazing for such a large turbo. With the same programming as before plus 20% bigger injector nozzles I'm seeing 50psi of boost compared to 27 with the stock turbo and stock injectors. With more fuel from the 20% bigger injector my max EGT's are now are 1600 degrees compared to 1800 degrees with the stock turbo and injectors. Now the truck feels as fast if not faster than it was on nitrous.
