drilling for oil or gases out on the ice or something, I watched it but didn't pay much attention haha, and saskdmax just post in here :thumb:
I'm just trying to get some ideas of whether i should put a bigger turbo on my LB7 without headstuds. I have had a few mixed opinions and wanted know if anyone has done it, what they are running for boost and power
also to answer your question, lots of guys from Alberta and Saskatchewan go work on the oil rigs to make the big bucks
Find the area that pertains to the topic you want to start a thread on. In that area on the left side near the top you will see a button that says start a new thread.
Your question I would put in Hard Parts maybe.....
To be honest, I don't think you need studs depending on how much boost you were planning to run. Under 35psi I wouldn't worry about it. You may want to get some custom tuning though as the Edge may not have what you need in it to spool a bigger turbo.
Sure people work in the oilfield in Canada. Mainly northeastern BC all of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
I lived in Alberta for a few years and worked in the industry. No offence to anyone here that does it but I found the lifestyle to pretty bad. In my experience alot of people that do it work their asses off just to get a pay cheque then go blow it all irresponsibly in the 1 week they have off. Then they go back to work with no money just to do it all over again. I didnt really find the money that great either....it was good but there are other things that pay just as well or better.

I watched that show last night! It was pretty interesting. Came on right after Punkin Chunkin!:thumb:
I've been running a gt4088r 40lbs boost for two years no issues. Usually anything under 50 you are okay.
I've been looking at the industrial injection silver 62 or 64 turbo i think the 66 would be too big for me right now, anyone know anything about these they have some good deals on them for black friday 20% off so basically the whole kit for $2300
Well said, I worked drilling rigs for 4 years back in the mid 90s
I was rich for a week.:angel:
I look at rigs as a stepping stone and if you wanna stay in the patch it was good for that ..... The lifestyle does get old! But hard to make 150-200k a year On a grade 10 education.
