Just Installed My Powermax

Just installed a new garrett pmax in my 06, i am very impressed with it! WOT boost is the same as stock but pulls harder, has more topend than my 03 setup and completely blows away my 06 turbo. The whistle is much less annoying than the 03 turbo, the pmax has just enough whistle without being obnoxious. The engine feels like it isnt fighting against back pressure as much now but im going to data log exhaust back pressure to confirm.

Im looking to shave a little more ET off this year, My goal is 13.1s with stock injectors, previous best is 13.35 @ 100.05

Cant wait for the MAD Billet wheel to be available, I think ill be even more pleased then!

I've read of surging with stock sticks? Care to comment? Asumming it all depends on tuning.

it has not surged at all. i put a good amount of miles on it earlier im very happy with it. my truck has stock injectors. my tunes arent written for the pmax either and i think im going to leave them that way.

Add a GOGO Stage 1 manifold to the list. My EBP ratio runs 1.5:1 @ 70+ HWY with the TC locked. Under hard acceleration the ratio is MUCH closer to the "perfect" 1:1 ratio.

nice, yea I'm look at the MTW wheel to replace the batmo I have due to egts. Until then I'm either going back to a stock turbo or the stock cast wheel.
