Small anecdote first, then questions. Questions in bold
From day one my intercooler system has not worked.
Bought truck with no pump, so I bought Johnson pump,
then lower CCHE leaks, So I got loaner CCHE from local member,
then brackets for CCHE are rusted, so I made new lower bracket and sides , and screwed up and weld the ears on wrong. I think I am destined to not have air to water. Fine. I can live with that.
I am going to convert to A2A. After I do this I do 3 bar map and work up the boost to 18-20. I forsee Alky to compliment the a2a.
I intend to follow :Motormouth's: and ?someone elses? build with Saab 9000 core.
I will fab up my own piping.
From Search I have weak answers to the following questions:
Stock Turbo can be clocked?
But I have to go with external wastegate because the wastegate actuator won't work?
So I would have to do the above, and piping.
What are recommendations for the external wastegate? Low cost but effective is the language I speak.
Is this feasable / worthwhile on stock turbo? While I am doing this I will be swapping to another, tighter stock turbo with ported housing. I may be able to swing 20G if lucky, but not much more $$.
Alot of opinions say a2a is better for street. This is my daily driver. Opinions?
I am trying to get all the needed parts/ areas of concern thought about ahead of time, so I don't get hung up.
Can you think of anything else I may need?
Any input will be appreciated. If you would like more info, please let me know. Truck is stock, with K & N filter, no cat, flowmaster muffler dumping at axle.
