    Stock replacement turbo

    my truck is an 04. but the replacement went in nov/dec 06. man is it small! i cant believe thats a turbo. my mechanic said it was a smaller replacement aswell, i'm just doing some research to double check. Maybe he just wants to sell me a turbo.

    oh yes, i see what u mean. The THD varies on all of them. i found the clean ones though. THD < .03% and .05% The dirty ones are measured at THD < 1%.

    Stock replacement turbo

    Some idiot cut me off in my F550 and I was going 65Km/h. How could he not see me coming? Anyways, there was a lot of front end damage, they even replaced the turbo for some reason. I've heard the replacement turbos are smaller and not as powerfull. Anyone know the specs on replacement...

    yeah, it sounds really good. are u thinking of two or just one sub? rememer, the W1 are the least expensive. they provide good bass, the W3 will blow u away and the W6 will let your friends know your coming down the street from 3-4 blocks away. the W1 is what is usually on display at the...

    oh, i ment to say 12W1V2. its only 5.09 inchs for the monting depth. it looks like a normal sub, but has a ripple just inside the rubber surround foam. other than that it looks pretty standard.

    hey strokin' The jl audio web sit is only a click away. JL Audio The subs are W1, W3 W6 and W7. and when there is a V2 or V3 beside it, that means it is a revised version of the sub woofer. W7s are the most expensive since they are the loudest, w6 are really loud and have more power...

    Hey strokin since you'll have the system behind the seat, the subs will sound good. Ive seen my buddy compete with a $150 cd player. He had 10 10"subs. The deck had basic features like sub volume control. All the features he needed wher on the amp. I just measured my JL W1 V2 and it is...

    nice subs, I saw those JLs u have on photo bucket. do you like your system, or do u want to have something like a pioneer deck, I was thinking of keeping the stock deck in my 06 F150 and 04F550 and put in the JL cleensweep, JL amps and JL W3V3 with 4ohm drivers in each of the trucks U have...

    Can I do this?

    i heard if u reverse the polarity on a tidy-tank pump, u can suck the fuel up. I've never done it, but seems like its pretty straight forward. are u using a drum or tidy tank to transport fuel?

    suggestions on stereo stuff??

    that is a goal i'm sure many people are after, the only thing i can think of is a product called cleansweep. U keep the stock deck and can run aftermarket amps. Only other thing would be to photocopy the stock headunit and stick it over ur deck when u park the truck. if u really think ur...

    Yeah, definately got the idea from bazooka bass tubes. This is what i came up with that would be easy to make over and over. Also anyone could make it for less than $40 (12"sub box) in their garage. Only the tops are fiberglass (as shown in pic#3) and the majority is MDF. My first one was...

    Can I do this?

    I live 4 blocks away from a Biodiesel Husky Gas station. I thought everyone had one. Now that I have read the BTUs of Bio mixs are so simalar to average diesel, i will keep using B40.:woot

    Hey everyone, im from delta, a little city near Vancouver, BC. I ordered my truck and had them make me a special one. The rear end in this one looks like it was amputated from a dump truck and put between my 19.5" rims. wish they were 22.5" rims. The only thing i'm aware of that the factory...

    Can I do this?

    This is a qoute from wikipedia. I guess this is what i was thinking of when i said penut oil was the first veg oil used. I forgot that rudolf made the actual diesel engine around 1897 and used Black Walnut Oil. I couldn't find info on Black walnut oil, but it sounds like u know your stuff...

    oh yeah, i build all my own sub boxes too, I created an odd shape that creates a lot more base out of the same size enclosure. Its a mix of a round box with a square bottom. This lets the box become a little longer and narrower, creates deeper base, ive had people say they are twice as loud...

    apparantly u thought i bashed JL, well u were mistaken, and u also thought i am scared of dials and dodads. U couldn't be more wrong. Ilove dialing in a new setup. and for stop lights, its something u older guys wouldnt understand

    Turbo spool and downpipe size?

    If i do muffler delete, keep the cat, will the turbo be spooling to fast if I add a SCT X3 with a medium level tune (80hp would be nice) Will a bigger down pipe slow the turbo speed or let it run faster? I thought the rpm of the turbo would be to high with a stock DownPipe since the...

    anybody try this?

    CX-1 seems like a good system. The other way to make diesel, like what i think most people do, uses something to heat the oil, and u add some kind of alcohal as well as a filter. The alcohal is what makes biodiesel at the pump not compatible with some engines. (only OLD engines) Alcohal...

    U have a JL amp, I'm jelous, they have soo many switches and buttons. The reason I turn my amp down is i can turn it up on my pioneer deck when i need to (stop lights!) Also after working at an audio install shop called Illustions, i picked up that tip to run amps at 3/4. It doesn't matter...
