I just replaced my OEM turbo with a Garrett Stage I and have a few questions that maybe some of you can help me with. I run the Banks system as described in my sig. normally on setting 3.

I notice that I have alot more turbo lag which is to be expected (I guess). Is there a way to tune the turbo? I also notice that the Allison seems to shift alittle harder, does this mean that I should have the ECM reflashed? or is this just the tranny trying to relearn the new turbo.

I also added the Banks CAI with the new turbo and it seems to have lowered my EGT'S which are now around 800.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, I assume you are talking about the 3788R


EFI live is what you need

a Tuner or box only works good with the stock turbo. It took quite a bit of tuning to get my GT4094R to spool well

KEVINL Thanks, Yes that is the correct turbo, Do I have to uninstall the banks six gun and speed loaded to instal the EFI Live?

You can keep the Banks connected if you want and use it just to monitor while you use EFI.
