I bought a s472/83 a/r .90 and it came non gated and I was wondering if I should waste gate it or not. It is going on a 2001 24v vp truck it is a manual also. Thanks for any input.
 
The S472 is going to suck and that isn't your biggest problem with the equation. An S472 on a vp truck with a manual is going to be miserable on the track. You will have about 500 usable rpm, you'll be slamming gears, and running slow times all while being a smokey hot mess.

Did think about it a lot to be honest. I probably won't be great at the track but still be a fun on the street I think...
 
Honestly i dont see it being a fun truck in any manner. But prove all of us wrong. I wouldnt want to drive it with that turbo until it was ppumped.
 
Vp is the last concern for me. Drag racing a manual truck is just ignorant, especially with the rest of your setup. Just my personal opinion.

Edit: apparently it didn't refresh when I thought it did. Tree'd several times.
