LB7: Y bridge recommendations on a max effort stock turbo
- Thread starter diesel53
- Start date
I don't see how its worth it on a tune only truck? I've gone 11's on a 2.5 inch bridge just saying... Money might be better spent other places
I have a Wcfab Y-bridge with a stock turbo and RDL intake horn. It fit great and hooked up to the intercooler tube in the stock location. Not sure on how much power it adds.

I went 10.5 on stock bridge. I really don't think they help unless your running a lot more boost than stock
I vote for a ported/polished turbo!!! haha:roflmao:
Like others have said, larger turbo. The really question I think is what do you use the pickup for and what are your goals? Once you think of that then you're have a clearer path.
Stock Y-bridge is fine unless you're going for big horsepower in my opinion.

We have this on our '02 that is used primarily for towing...RDL manifolds and up-pipes...I know it's not too popular with the big turbo crowd, but it's VERY responsive towing and around town...We see around 38-40 psi on the bigger tunes, 35 psi on the tow tune IIRC...

bigger turbo doesn't mean you will bend rods, just have it tuned by someone good and youll be fine. lots of people around here running 68mm stock appearing chargers, pump, injectors, tuned by duramax tuner, with the stock bottom end. good tuning goes a long way.
I know people have have made alot more power on a stock bottom end for many miles, but it seems risks multiply alot more get over the stock turbo's limits.
I may do a bigger turbo eventually. Would head gaskets be an issue? Or they will go regardless at some point without the grade c's?

For as cheap as a set of Grade C gaskets are I would throw a set in for peace of mind.
Ya take a girl out for 3 really nice dinners... Much better spent imho
Don't torture yourself by having to sit through dinner with her. Just pay her for the sex.
I think the standard gasket will go if you don't install a set of ARP head studs...
