Check my signature on my 91. Works good for towing. About the only thing to add is a 4" exhaust.

hey coug, Are you satisfied with your 16cm/60? do you ever wish you went to a 14cm or 12cm? Im in the same boat and want to rebuild my 250,000 mile h1c w/the gds60compressor. I havent decided on a turbine housing yet. I do Quite a bit of towing so I have been leaning towards the 12cm, just for quicker spoolup reasons. How hot do you run towing w/ 16cm? I have a 5spd also. Sorry for the hijack.

Very happy with it. It seems to be a good overall combination with the +40hp injectors and M2 pin. With the pump adjustments I have (not maxed out), I have almost no noticeable turbo lag with the 16 also. And not an out of control amount of smoke. A smaller turbo may spool faster but my concern was the increased restriction on the stock exhaust would drive EGTs up too much. A 4" exhaust may allow a 14cm housing to run in the same EGT range, but I don't know for sure.

What kind of mileage do you get cougar with that set up. I am looking at a similar upgrade but need to keep my 19+ mpg. A little more power would be good but need mileage more.

Hmmm, I think im just gonna copy cougar with my mods, sounds like a good combo while towing. Hpefully the old clutch will hold when I start addin the juice.

i wouldnt be afraid to use a 12cm exhaust housing on a standard shift truck. the getrag is a slow shifter anyway so quick spooling is a good thing to have because youre going to lose your boost.

Jbrad- You ever get scared w/egts with your 12cm? I dont want to drive watching the pyro gauge while towing up steep mountain passes in 100 dg heat. Within the next two months Ill be upgrading. 4'' exhaust,and a call to GDS For 60mm comp housing and a new 12-16 turbine housing. I want to move air first,then call m and h for a fuel pin and timing spacer. possibly down the road, injectors and a piston pump. Oh ya, a 366 spring will definatley find a new home in there also.

I don't worry, my truck runs cool most all of the time I'm not leaking boost. I don't think comparing a 62mm s300 and a 56mm h1c is apples to apples though.

The injector part number is 0 432 131 837. Got them from a place called Electronic Injection on Ebay.
So far, none of my mods have decreased my fuel mileage. I still get 18 in the winter and 20-21 summer.
I have a stock clutch and have no problems with it holding the power even with a trailer.

PODs would probably get a little hot when towing. I'd look at the Bosch 190s. In my 1992 I had the older Bosch 185s, and along with a PDR HX-35/40 hybrid turbo (16 cm housing) and basic pump tweaks, I couldn't get EGT over 1250 when hauling about 2000 lbs. in the bed. That truck was an auto, so quick spoolup wasn't as important.

i just ordered some injectors from SDX. I researched them and they have a good reputation and good price.

If you wanna stay cheap, a set of PODs and an He351 turbo(stock turbo off 04.5-07 dodge) would do the job great, and some minor pump tweaking. I think it'd stay cool just fine and have plenty of power.
