Installed this little guy today, what a difference, turned it a little farther than I wanted at first and saw around 15 lbs, trying to get it down to about 8, then maybe 10 when it's tuned all the way

Manual boost controllers are like the lotto

Is there a cheaper way with the injectors? I have nearly everything and I cannot bring myself to spend ~$200 for the injectors... I spent less on my turbo :'(

 

[boosted5]

Injectors are a very important piece, can't force more air into the engine without adding more fuel

I just meant is there a cheaper injector that will work on our trucks?

 

[boosted5]

If there was, I wouldn't go cheaper, if any of these parts for the turbo fails, you will be buying a new engine most likely....
And if your turbo was under $200....I wouldn't feel safe putting it on my truck...

It was pulled from a friend's car because he went bigger. Only has a week of hard driving on it. I helped him build the thing (and spool it once or twice).

Well as for the injectors, they are top notch and of you get the harness from lime-swap, looks completely factory and is just plug and play, also is a great guy to do business with, and I would buy from him any day

I really don't see another option. Looks like he's got some good stuff going on when I checked his page. Look out for a build thread soon!

Thanks Dbizzle

I've heard of people running a few PSI by upping the fuel pressure. Not recommended, but possible.

Teefish,
I'm the ultimate cheap ass. My turbo was even cheaper than yours, but I still ponied up for the brand new Dekas

My kit was originally designed with a FMU for the trucks with return lines. From the previous owner he said it worked good, and I actually have a knob operated boost referenced timing retard module for the 5 cylinders made by some weird electronics shop out west special for the kit. It's funny the instructions actually say after the kit is installed go out and drive and adjust the knob until you hear knock then back it off a little, real great advice right?

Got the super servos in today! Shift so much better, and the shift from 1st to 2nd really spins the tires

You were...the person that tried to run boost on stock injectors

Jeff Wieser also did it on the I6. I think Jeff got to 5 psi before caving in.


Cheapassedness: I claim the title of cheapest turbo. I got TWO GT3788s for $150!
