Well a 38R is what I was wanting but dont have $1800+ right now and need a turbo now

You can get it cheaper than $1800 but I guess if your adding the non ebv pedistal too then ya your right. You can get a rebuild kit for the stocker for about $100 unless you need the impelers to then it's about $300

how are the Egts and how does it perform while towing??

I don't get to drive the truck much since I keep it at home and I work on the road but I'm pretty sure that on normal driving it may hit 900 and getting on it some it may see just over 1000. That's the best that I can remember since its been about a month since I drove it. I don't think that I have ever seen it go over 1200. And btw, my egt probe is pre tubro in the manifold. The most I've towed with it around 4,000 and egts didn't really increase at all with that small load. With the other mods in my sig it will run as much as 30lbs of boost and that's not even with good tuning. With the BD and the AFE stage 2 intake it pretty much whistles all the time similar to a 6oh.

Ok so I got on Bean's diesels website and looked at the rebuild kit and 1.0 A/R exhaust housing, if I went that route will it support my current mods, I have PMR's so my current mods are the way its staying
