I just installed a set injectors and its fun but now it needs more boost, the turbo is stock and its pegged at 35psi money is a option so what's out there that will get more boost at a budget it price. Egts have reached 1900 when I stand in it for a extended time period, also how much boost will the stock head gasket hold before it needs studded?

Depending on what you plan to do with the truck I would lean toward a 67/71 or an ED 62/68/14 for that size of injector. Search for posts by "bridleman" on this forum. His posts are really helpful and detailed for turbo selection!

1900 ? holy moly, you better do something soon.

if you have the stock hy (if an 01 and auto you would have) its seriously too small, I was overfueling with The J/A on level 3 and 80hp inj!

for cheaper you can instal a he351 from an 04.5 and up, I just did it friday and cant say if is better yet....but will update as I go, cost me about 350$ to install that included all the parts(turbo/down pipe etc)

I went from an HY to an HX and there was a huge drop in EGT's, some people dont report the same, but at the time I found a used hx for 100$ so it was well worth it
here is a link that Patracy started, lots of info in there

Its just a play truck a daily driver pull a little with it never been hooked to a sled or down the strip. I am a welder/ fabricator and mechanic so takeing a turbo and adapting it is no big deal just did not know what was out or really how to go about finding something that will work, I see a lot of guys playing with the vgt but not heard good or bad yet

I see you got a 66vgt where did you get that and how are you controling the vanes?

johnyb59

Fleece performance. And I am using their standalone controller to control the vanes.

How big is the exhaust wheel and housing on that 66vgt?
