Yep...Had 2 houses, but I was gone 350 out of 365 days a year with my work. Sold them both and bought 2 fifthwheel campers. One for running around here in the States....and a 35 footer for spending the winters in Mexico.

Been fulltimer in the camper for 5 years now. I guess you can say I am trailer trash. :D

Here is a pic of the 35' in Baja this past winter.

So is this going to be like the Danville charger or like Braydens turbos?? I think whether its a modded VNT or a GT40 they will all honestly turn out to be around the same cost as a lot of work goes into those modded VNT chargers.

Dan has my turbo and is modding it.....not sure what exactly we are going to do, as there is a bunch of options for what you can do to both sides of the turbo. I am thinking that modding the hot side, will yield the best results for the extreme backpressure issue I have when towing. Dan told me that a stage 1 would be modding the cold side to a bigger wheel...a lot like the Cheetah. The hot side mods will be opening up the exhaust side for better flow on that side as well. Boils down to how much you want to spend for the amount of work done.

Maybe Dan will join in and give you guys a better update on what can be done. He puts it in better words than I do.;)

My point also Mat was that people are bitching that the cheetah costs 3500, when a gt40 is $500 more. :confused: why is that a complaint??

Dan has also hinted at a Borg Warner Wheel, that will be huge...well, huge for a stock sized compressor housing.

I used the Cheetah reference to imply that Dan can make a more efficient compressor side, like whats on the Cheetah, with at least 3 different sized wheels...I know Brayden modifies both sides of his turbos too.

Come on Dan...whats the specs on the BW wheel?? I am really excited to see what the combo will be for my rig. Waiting is the hardest part!!!:p
