No problem man.

Are you planning on going to a larger turbo down the road? If not right away, I'd suggest smaller sticks, like a 175. Your going to get 190's and the tuner (whoever rights your tunes) is going to pull all of the fuel out of them anyways, cause the powermax wont clean those up. If you plan on doing to a different charger later on, then yeah, go for it.

well all depends on how much the larger turbo is and if its reliable for what i want right now. if i stick with this ill get it done by march if i go with bigger turbo prolly have to wait a little longer. and if it is logical for me to do it. Really like the compound idea but just dont like the time its gonna take at this point. still going to do a little research on everything until after the holidays to figure my best play here. i dont mind spending the money on the bigger turbo just wanna make sure its worth it. and i think im going with innovative tunes. ordering the air dog tomorrow. then dunno from there with injectors and turbo.

Go-go has a link to their forum on that page Mdub referneced. I read it AFTER I posted on this thread (hence my edit). There were NO negative feedbacks, all who used it were very happy with it. I've had 3-5 shift issues, and its going to the top of my "Next mod" list. BTW, there are 7 solenoids, I have a perfectly good spare "valve body" thanks to Edge.

I will probably get that solenoid after x-mas too. Got a fresh rebuilt trans, want it to last.

Jeff, an S362 turbo will run circles around the powermax setup. Don't get me wrong, the powermax is an improvement over stock, and for the price it's hard to beat, it just will not flow the air one of the larger charges will. It sounds like you really would be better suited with the 62. Or a 64 with a diverter valve, but then you're getting into bigger bucks. The diverter valve itself is like $800.

this is what innovative told me on sending my ficm to them to get it tuned. and on these turbos where is the best place to look at buying these. and should i get the egt probe when i get the sct?

"Cost will be $200 to have it flashed when we are ready...the device is
not ready to be released yet.. We rather not have customers ficms in the
shop until the tuner is released....We will be sure to post the info on
our website....Sorry for the delay...takes so much time to have these
things built and tested to assure they work everytime.."

Bought the sct livewire tonight with the egt probe and some mpt tunes for a pretty good price. anyone used mpt tunes before?

How much is the 62? Do you know the ball-park off hand?

im trying to figure the best place to find one at a good price. Found a few for around 1500 to 2k with the batmowheel. The website says they are good up to 650-700 hp so if its the right one im prolly going to get that with the 190s if it will clean it up.

Mdub, would I be able to run a 62-65mm with my stock sticks until I get the extra dough to get 170s?
