Getting a powermax, what else is needed?

[..::ryan::..]

So I got a hookup on a new powermax for $869 and couldn't pass that up...SOOOOO what else is there that I may need? For the time being, I just want to use it as a replacement for the stock turbo until I get studs, then I am going to get the truck tuned. My understanding is I can just drop it in and the truck will be just as reliable as the it was with the stock turbo correct?

I would reccomend an EGR delete while your in there, no matter whose you buy not trying to even sell you ours!

Get some 190cc injectors and run low 12s

And yes other than having a bit more power it will be similar to stock. It's impossible to say it will be just as reliable but odds are you'll be fine.

I wouldnt say that it will produce more power with a stock tune. If anything it might be and more than likely will be a little more laggy until you tune it and install some injectors.

You will DEFINITELY need tunes or it will be a laggy, smokey pig...

Seeing as he has an edge CTS, I was assuming he will be running a tune. But yes you are correct. No tune and powermax= crap. With a good tune even on stock injectors a powermax is good for 50whp.
