Ok we have been having tuner wars over Quad, Diablo,TST, PPE, TTS, Van Akken, and Edge. Enough if were gonna make more power IMHO we need a different charger set up. Comming from Experience DO NOT DISCONNECT THE WASTEGATE HOSE!!! I have blown 2 turbo's trying to run the VA 225 Box nothing against Van Akken the power is Awesome! Just i have heard alot of mixxed things about the charger set up on the Dmax. I have heard 40PSI is max amount of boost you want to run I also heard from a well known Dmax Source 30PSI is pushing the outer limits. I know this much both of my chargers basically shattered the shaft in the turbo. My Dealership who very graciously warrantied my stuff both times said that the force applied to that shaft shoved the compressor wheel into the housing so hard it disentigrated sending the parts into the intercooler. Now I didnt take anything apart nor did I verify this with my own eyes. I know a few people are wanting to build Hybrids and so forth well lets get er DONE! I saw ATS's compound twin set up I dont care much for it because of having to run a separate oil pump for the charger and the fact the stock charger is still used. I think a big single would be ideal. a much larger exhaust housing and center shaft would be ideal ball bearing would be sweet but adds a little to the price. Th compound charger idea is great. Use a larger turbo than stock then feed a HT3B or H2 hell the cummins guys use it we can too gotta be creative as far as mounting goes underneath is ok but what if your truck isnt lifted. Better yet mine is 4X4 and is actually lowered 3 turns on the torsion bars to help with the dreaded 4X4 bounce. no tierods to date and helped my Buds 8100 powered HD with 200HP shot of Nitrous to keep from snaping the tierods like twigs. Let get the discussion going and get some chargers built and fabbed winter is upon us drag racing and pulling seasons are almost done time to think about winter projects.
