Just a general question to anyone that can help, but will stall speed effect the daily driving at all or is it more so just lighting the turbo from a stop? Will a higher/lower stall speed effect how the turbos light driving on the street?

Great thread, looking to upgrade when I get my tax return.

Simple answer is yes. You definitely don't want the wrong converter!

Figured I would give a little update and some more pics.

Still loving this s472! Seems the crappy beat up k&n filter that came with the kit is actually working pretty good.

3 months in and still clean as a whistle.

Couple pics of the y bridge and stuff...don't mind the dented y bridge, I put the bridge in first, then the turbo without the cover and of course the cover wouldn't go back on with out some loving.

Also just to double check the output of my fass...old boost gauge turned fuel pressure gauge! 12 psi..right where I left it last year.

Can't wait to hit the track next month.

My green ml converter seems to be doing very well with this turbo. It spools it up real nice and after 3 weeks ago doing a few hydraulic upgrades to my trans, it's even better. Throttle response is alot better than the Danville 72 ever was.

I had the chance to tow a trailer a few weeks back...it was a double axle v nose probably 25 feet long loaded with 4 wheelers, snow mobile and a few other thing. Not super heavy but probably 7500 pounds. It's doable but definitely not ideal to tow with this charger. We decided to use the single axle flat bed Instead with 3 4 wheelers on it and I ccouldn't even tell it was back there. Other than that, I love this setup.
