If so, how do ya go about using 4" piping? Do you just have a 3" to 4" on that end or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of the exact reasons, but the gtx being laggier was one of them. 400+ is pushing the standard turbo from what I've read.. Getting another turbo wasn't about the engine (yet). The car requires a better exhaust manifold for my Tuner to keep pushing it and so I decided to switch turbo's to one that won't be ringing its neck off at 400+.I'm real happy with what Jem's done for the car so far, so if he says GT4094r would be his pick, then that's fine with me...I'm not the one tuning it.

Can you get away with doing this(One of these users did it with Spool rods and said it was fine, had no hassles)Sort of the direction I'm looking at going down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you plan on running decent boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their rods won't work together with the standard pistons anyway. So he cancelled my order.Not sure what the go is there considering I Pm'd a guy on here about how he did the exact same thing.... Ah well. 400+ on standard bottom end here we come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
