Its hard to say what stock is as the turbo is for 03-07 and the stock boost levels were 24 and 32.

I'm a stage 1 3788R with the .89 A/R and the other is a 4202R, however I cannot remember the A/R off the top of my head and I'm not near the rig at present. I'll have to look when I get back home. It was one of those situations I let the pro's at Turbo Resource figure out. I told Tom what I had for goodies, what I intended to do with the truck and he took care of the rest. I'm fully boosted to 60 lbs with 30# on the primary and 30# on the secondary. That was set by the guy I had build my system though as I think they're externally waste gated or externally adjusted.

Good news on the boost code. Probably just one of those anomolies that flash once and a while. I get those all the time and don't worry bout it too much once the DTC/CEL goes out.

^^^^ Your 4202 is most likely a 1.15 A/R on the EH.

I lied,

I just found the invoice. I am a stage 2 custom with a .89 and the 4202R is a 1.15 as previously suggested. Overall I'm fairly happy with Tom's suggestions. I must replace a couple of injectors to take full advantage of the turbos though. Once I start throwing some extra fuel in the mix it starts missing terribly. I had my injectors flow tested and two of the six just passed. I didn't budget for that at the time so it's on the horizon b4 winter approaches.... Money pits??? Nahhhhhh!!! But they're fun!!!

Do you know what Tom did to the Stage 2? I know how he customizes his Stage 3's, but he never mentioned anything on the Stage 2.

The standard Stage 2 is a GT3782R with a 61.5x82mm comp wheel with a 72.5x64mm comp wheel and a .89 internally gated housing.

Are you using the WG from the powermax kit? Any pics of the setup?

It says nothing more on my invoice or prior emails. I could call/email him or if it's easy to measure I could try. I have no info other than what I wrote down. However, I can post a few pics. Thats the easy part

Tom can get pretty extensive with modding a stage 2. Mine started out as a stage 2 but ended with 4094 wheels.

Hmm.... If that's the case they need to update their website and inform their vendors.

Sorry let me restate that - I can get a fleece garrett setup on my gen 3 with one.. Don't know if it's a modified thing or what - I will find out in the AM.. Just call SEED.. After all - why would a company like that not make one??

It's probably a 2nd gen style, as they bolt up but put the turbo in a different place.

The probably wouldn't make one because that OEM style on 3rd gen's isn't used on twins or big singles for the most part. It's just not as efficient as a 2nd gen style. ATS/BD already have an improved 3rd gen style for those that aren't going huge and want to stick with OEM exhaust/intake options.
