I would highly recommend you go with a larger wheel while you have the opportunity but would not go as big as the 60-1 or GT35 because to get the most from those you will need to make other upgrades and spend extra money. And the 20g is not enough of an upgrade to make it worthwhile.
So ....... To4e 50trim , 57trim or 60trim . They are ,i believe, the ideal upgrades for the stock kit and will be well inside their efficiency ranges at the 260-280whp leavels you are aiming for .

Thanks for the info. He also mentioned that it was obvious this turbo saw excessive EGT's due to the amount of heat damage and he said it was obvious the previous owner of this turbo did not use a turbo timer. He told me that proper cool down is critical on any turbo that is solely oil cooled.
I wish I could get a history from the original owner but he did not offer much info.

Watch out for Long lead times on a trim upgrade. I would guess the time line has gone critical with Raul also being out of the picture as well. You can always do a crazy turbo at another time and get Exactly what you want then. + that would give you time to do other required things when going for big power.

Having said that if the original looks OK??..they are not cheap.
9K, Hopefully others who have done the job before will know, PM RotaryResurection, and or Pineapple Racing??

Thanks Ash, I will probably just got new I think.
Guys,
Help me find a quality large paper air filter that has a 6" diameter inlet.
Anyone know if these AEM's are worth a ****?
This one has a 6" inlet and is 8" long.

^ Got them, thanks. I am going to try and take the bumper off soon and get some measurements to see what will fit and how I can situate it. But either way I think I will have to block flow to the rad with the filter and inter cooler to some degree. I am glad I have the secondary rad installed.
has anyone ever cleaned their inter-cooler (the inside) before? I read up on it a bit and there are many theories on ways to do it but nothing concrete. I am thinking of just using simple green and hot water.

You could get a waste chunk of AL and put it in a cup of Simple green over night and inspect it after 24hrs.... I think that should be plenty of time to initiate any chemical reaction... epecially with Al

I actually called around and some said they would do it for $30.00 and two shops said they do not recommend cleaning it, but just to replace it if it dirty and I actually read on some diesel forums that they recommend just replacing them since they are so hard to get absolutely clean.
