How do you think this turbo will do, and this setup? its not a daily driver but it is driven some on the street and i sled pull a few times a year. All opinions welcome, thanks guys
 
you have way more motor and fuel than that turbo.

that being said it was way more fun than the silver64 i relpaced with it, the gt4202 was more fun than the A5k.

if it is not your DD I would consider more turbo, but thats just me.
 
I guess if you pull the rules would determine your turbo for you. big singles are fun, I would prefer the twins myself.
 
T3 or t4 ? Run one on a truck with more fuel than you have and it's def not street friendly charger . Can be bit loves to bark and surge with light to moderate throttle . Runs best up high. But this is also do to the tight t3 housing with that large compressor . Limits your rpms on the high side also. Just my experience. Mine is k31 based charger from industrial . Some are s300 based.

As long as you plan on making power from 2000rpm on up they seem to do awesome. Don't spray em without a gate, and don't overspeed them! I hit 60psi by 2,500rpm on mine when the truck had a single.
 
If twins are on the table I don't see why you would be considering a laggy single.

Most pulls don't allow twins. Everyone b!tches about ATS turbos but I've not heard a good reason why. Yes nitrous will obviously destroy it since there is no wastegate, but if you spray a non gated turbo your retarded..and deserve the carnage.$.02

I totally forgot the pulls part when I posted that. Fail on my part...
 
Anyone? I ask seriously because I am thinking about going from my 4k to a 5k.

You can buy more turbo for less money.

Maybe so, but the A4k was on the truck when I bought it, bought new from ATS by my brother. ATS has been really cool about everything and will upgrade me to a A5K for cheap(ish). So not really in my case.
 
I still like em...I could spool my A5K with a converter that was tighter than stock, most need to go looser to spool a 71mm charger.

Mine didn't like shifting into OD at 3K rpm with 3.55 gears, but I think holding it out to 3500-4000 would have worked fine.
