I have been thinking about trying it as I am trying to decide which turbo to go with. How about you try it and let us know so I don't have to waist MY money if it sucks!

what are you basing your information on? It is less money than your SPS turbo, and unless you've tried it, how do you know it's over rated. To this point, I can't find anyone that has used it to give first hand experience. Also, why do you claim there is no support? You wouldn't happen to have any alterior motive for sharing your thoughts would you?

First of all, a stock turbo does not hold 450hp effeciently. I know. I am currently in that boat. I am overspeeding it, and my egts are through the roof. I need more air.
Second, what is it that you've seen. If you have information, share the specifics.

Call Edge or their supporting Vendors and Ask,Were DO YOU purchase the Exhaust and intake Adapters.If you like Just send it in and we will send another one,Then Edge support is great,When the cycle repeats itself three or Four Times you Might get ****** off.Most of Edge Products Have FAILED our safety and Products Standards.Just Because a Product May be popular is NOT a Standard at T&C.
As far as cost are concern you get what you Pay for?,When Purchasing aftermarket Products for every day use you should think of the future,Dose the Hardware change factory applications,availability,ease of removal, etc.You may find yourself on Vacation stranded in some small town waiting for replacement Parts for Days.

I have an edge BB turbo that I ran on my 01, and it IS a good turbo. It spooled nearly as quickly as the stocker and flowed very well on top end. I'm sure my truck could have used more air flow, but I think the BB did very well. I just wish it would bolt onto my 06, and I would still be running it.

i wasn't sure about the 450-460 range is why i put a ? in there. i'm in need of more air too but i have no idea where i am on a dyno.

"what i've seen" is threads about it..none of which greatly applauded the turbo. search for it and see.
