Most everyone doens't see much difference between 100 and 140, your hpop can only push so much, like bigwhite said it'll be more smoke and prob closer to 100hp gain. You need alot of supporting mods to make the 140, it'll still be fun & smoky

my turbo cannot keep up with the 140 tune. My turbo can't even keep up with the 60 tow tune when I get on it. Surges real bad unless I ease into it. I need a new one real bad

Might not need a new turbo perhaps. i have the same problem with the turbo surging and i was told a intake, larger exaust, a wicked wheel, and a boost fooler will help it out a lot. and if ya do all that guages might be a good idea too. i just ordered all of that, ill let ya kno how it works out for me.

yea my stock turbo didnt like the new power either. I went with the ATS housing. A bit more spendy but has good resale and it cures the problem completely
