Default Out it goes

Today was the first day of removing my vortech. Havent done much yet becaus ei have it at my buddies shop so he can help (do 90% of the work o_O) and it was busy over there.

So heres my question. I decided im not gonna go stroker since it seems the 4.5l wont be streetable which is the only one i was considering. So what turbos are out there other than Powerhouse? I checked google i know but i am just wondering which ones are known and tested not just random ones. Im thinking about going with powerhouse but i wanna see what other options are at there. Ill prolly want to run it between 8-12 psi. Thanks

to be completely honest, i think PH is ur best bet whether there were more out there or not. I have heard nothing but success stories from these applications. Go ahead and build the motor, keep it a 4.0, but boost the **** out of it.

Grantelli is working on one for the 4.0, but its not out yet. I love my PH turbo though.

Im really not impressed with it. THis is my second 4.0 and the first one was procharged and it got way better numbers. I dont wanna get another procharger though because i must be lucky it had no problems or something because everyone else does. As for selling the vortech its already claimed. Im putting it in my dads 4.0 o_O. Thanks for the info on the other turbo rygen

I would give PH a call and ask them on a status on the mail order units.
