Have to agree with R. Malone. LOVE my 62/65/13 stainless steel. Would buy exact same turbo again. Very streetable, everyone has differents needs or wants. I wanted to keep my truck very drivable with no lag --and tow well -- and reduce egts. It suits my needs to the T. I don't know about any of the others, so can't comment. Good luck, whatever you choose.

The thing that really tripped my trigger me when I was shopping turbos was that the Auroras have such quick spooling with a huge turbine housing that doesn't need a wastegate to keep drive pressure down or from over revving the wheels. It seems to me that turbos with wastegates waste valuable energy that should have been utilized. My old A2K has a 16 or 17 sq.cm. turbine (depending on the serial number) and all the SPS, HTT, SuperBs and everything else I read about are still using 12-14 housings. It would be nice if someone tested all of them on the same truck to get an apples to apples. Craig

what are you doing with the truck, towing,drag racing, or sled pulling. answer this first, then i can give you a highway to go down.and studs are a def. with the sticks.

hey bluechrome, something doesnt add up with your hpratio compared to what your running at the track, a 13.4. is that your old time.it just didnt seem right, you should be running faster, with that kinda hp.

YA YA I know! I couldn't my tires to hook up And i'm rowin the gears with a big clutch. But check out the trap speed. My best 60ft was a crappy 2.3. I agree I should be in the 12's but it's difficult with a 6-speed.
With my trap speed should be a 12 second pass
