Like I said it wasnt on purpose....that time lol.
The turbo I would like to end up with would be a nice ball bearing 64, but we will see how everything turns out.

 

Go with the Garrett 3788 stage 3, its one sweet turbo just pricey. There are lots of different S364 available or S362, the trick is finding one that works for your throttle foot.

 

I wouldn't worry about studs till 50+psi. I've been rocking 45-48 for awhile now, just don't be dumb and do it when it's cold or for a super long time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,knock on wood

 

The garrett 3788R, the wastegated starts to crack at 40 psi, so if you can get to 50's, that one heck of a strong truck. I hate to see you walk home one day, buddy...Thats why the make tow trucks for. Just haul it to my house, I'm give you hand to replacing the gasket, I've done a few in my life. Its more the egt's, than boost that kill head gaskets, more egt's will burn thru the gasket causing it to burst. Same goes for head cracks...
