[QUOTE="Truckzor, post: 1275669, member: 10220"] I just don't see where you are going to put it where it won't be subject to getting rocks/debris thrown up at it. You wouldn't even be able to go down a gravel road safely anymore. You could put a skid plate over it but then you're going to trap all the heat. I agree 100% with the comment on parasitic losses. The hellion turbo trucks typically make about the same horsepower we do but with lower boost and ~100 ft/lbs more torque. You're not the first person to build their own turbo kit, by the way. Several others have done it. They always go radio silent. My guess is they just can't get the tuning sorted. Tuning has been a problem for most of the Hellion trucks, as well. Just my two cents (the market value of which is precisely zero): it's a cool idea but it's just going to be more trouble than it's worth. [/QUOTE]
