20g14cm upgrade???

[attackdog]

Hi all. In my signature are all the mods that have been done to my SY. With that said... I believe that my turbo is on its way out and was wondering if I upgrade to a larger turbo, is it always necessary to re-tune the motor or is there a turbo that I can upgrade to without haveing to re-tune? I guess I will also ask what would be a good turbo upgrade that would fit well with my existing mods? Thanks a bunch.

Buy one of these for your 20G: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...0567803746&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT
& a compressor cover/housing like: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...0567802578&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT

You A/F will go lean up top,,just crusing around won't change much.

IMO, I'd contact JWALLER for a rebuild or new turbo. Even to do that mod Rick linked. Not sure what he charges to do it but I have had great luck with John's turbos and they are fair priced. FWIW, if you don't feel like getting a new exhaust among other things, I would stay with the 20g style set up. The 20g is over looked IMO and can be made to perform extremely well. As far as I'm concerned, it should have been stock on the trucks from the factory.
