looks good dwood!!!!! That turbo is sickkk dont get any man goo on it
He has to drag the rear brakes until they're glowing just to spool it up.Why would you call that a downgrade in performance?
Back pressure is way down compared to the stock setup.
But what does that matter if you can't spool it up without extreme measures and lots of smoke from a dirty tune?
Nitrous is about the only thing that would drastically improve it, short of getting a GT30 turbo in there for a HP compound and usable low-end.

fwiw the truck went 12.40 @110 on this turbo and a little nitrous best part is i havw yet to open the wastegate on the truck... my new set up will be drastcaly different... stay tunedWhy did you make such a big downgrade in performance?
I know its a little backwards, im moving away from the single, but it can be done, honestly a high tech 66 would have probably been an awesome turbo for the truck, but i have two car seats now and the truck has to be a little more drivable so im making some changes, not back to twins eitherKinda funny how that works. The single turbo guys all want to upgrade to twins, and as soon as ford comes out with factory twins people want a single turbo.
QuotesRemind me again where it says he couldn't lite the charger?
I made it smokier than it had to be
and it shifted into 2nd before it lit
...and i can stall it against a stock converter in about 10 seconds to 15psi of boost.
...What was sparking on the rear end?
brakes from loading the turbo.

Exactly live and learn a full daily driven street truck it probably wasnt the best choice to go to a single, being as heavy as the truck is it sure doesnt help, and when it was on 37s it was worse. i dont regret it one bit, im just trying to push some innovation on these trucks, like i said i would love to build a full drag truck soon.Don't get me wrong, I understand theres good reason. I have a single right now instead of twins because of my urge to run nitrous as well. Looking back, I should've put the twins kit I had on. She'd smoke less in town. Oh well, live and learn.
