The 71mm turbine will flow more exhaust at lower TIP, and the 13cm SS housing is stainless steel, which has a slower rate of thermal energy transfer - helps the turbo to spool... also, the twin wastegates manage drive pressure very well.

I lost to a buddy the other day... So I figure what the heck with a new turbo.

The Dtech I am looking at is a 62/65/12, How far off is this really from the above mentioned 62/71/13SS and the SS means Stainless Steel exhaust wheel ?

Which Turbo brand are you going with Diesel? and thanks for the answers .

I hope she runs alright, Turbo ought to help things a pinch

I am going with High Tech Turbo. Have heard a lot of good things about them!

thought about it, but it seems to be around $500, I think I may just not eat out for a month and stay away from the bottle for a couple months to make up for the money

I have been wanting a turbo for a long long time. and kind of have my mind set on it. . .

So I will do it.

Mike, Thanx for the to the point answers. thumbs up.

Man, I forgot all about that angle...

Heck, if you'd stay on the wagon you could just go ahead and get the MegaCab now!
