Hello Chris,
Looking for new Turbo.
I am planning on 450 hp on my 12v.

I have done some mods allready:
96 12v, nv 4500 4wd, KDP X'd, BHAF, 32" Tires, 4:10s, Autometer Boost and Pyro, Isspro fuel, AFE 4", AFC mods, #11 plate.
And plan on 5x.012 injectors, 4gsk, 60#valve springs, and eventually an exhaust brake.
I live in California, w/smog laws that suck.
Truck is a DD that tows 10,000+ into mountains a few times a year.

I am concerned about smoke. I have some time before purchase.
Could make some recomendations for me.
Thanks,
Gordon
 
Before Chris chimes in, he sold me a 58ET/65/12cm that was an absolute awesome charger on my 95. Dynoed 378/998 with absolutely just a whisper of smoke after spoolup.

If you are being honest with your goals, about the HP and towing you want to do, I would personally go no bigger than a 60mm charger. Bigger than that and it just seems to take a bit more RPM to get in it's sweet spot, and EGT's have usually been higher due to that. I like the smaller wheels for towing, and they are absolute torque monsters, which is a lot more fun to drive, IMHO.


Now let's see what Chris has to say....watch him tell me I'm wrong, or that he has something better up his sleeve now!

Chris:D
 
Please tell me I am wrong about the CAT law. I am honestly going buy what I was told.
And thanks for any opinion or advice.
 
They don't have cats, if it was an original California truck it has an egr

Don't know about that, but I ordered this truck in 95-waited a year to get it.
No EGR, Eng plate say's 215hp, came with a cat. New from Dealer in say Sept.ish 96.
