I know in diesels a huge part of the turbo energy comes both from the individual cylinder pulse and the higher the heat the more energy in the charge...

I wonder if they include muffler bearings with that kit.

after reading the way it was setup the truck picked up power and torque...from a 145 hp to a 225 hp difference with only 6psi of boost... and for lag there wasnt much lag to find,it was just instant power.. nice but can you find another way to run those piping and specially where you place the intake... its right behind the wheel, did anyone forget the wheel do kick up dirt oh and water...

hate to see what will it happen when people take it off-roading with it. The turbo will get dinged and tear up.
