What size turbo is that and how much do you have into it if you don't mind me asking? I'm seriously considering it

The one on my 99 is metal.

Its unreal how different boost pressures are between oil burners and gas. My Cummins in the Kodiak. I run 38 lbs of boost on it.

It's .68 trim 72mm I think. And I have a lot more in mine then you would need to spend. The company I went through now makes this as a kit and it's a lot cheaper then it was having it fabricated. Probably a lot less headache too. I had to send a lot of piping back and wait for the new ones. Intake still isn't right but I got tired of sending it back. Look up cxracing turbo kit. I have a little over $3000 in mine but I think the kit is like $2300 or something. I even think they were going to make 1 for the newer models. Not sure if they ever did though.

If you read it again, I think you'll see he meant he has more in his that you (we) would spend. $3K vs $2300.

I'd still change the wording cause it comes across as pompous. I mean it's the Internet and emotion/meaning is hard to convey but there's a few ways to say it without coming across like that.

So the grammar (or typing if he's an autocorrect victim) isn't the best. I read it that way at first, but after actually reading the entire post understood there's absolutely no pomp involved.

Change "have to spend" to "need to spend." Better now?

That is all too cool. I just wish they had a 5.4 kit ready made. I would be finding me a supercrew and start building.
