Cramming a turbo

[typhoon1588]

Pretty soon I will be ready for some more boost in the Ty. Myself being a guy of excess I want to kind of take the mods balls to the wall while leaving a stock crank, stock AWD, stock intertior. Just a whole lot of engine mods.

For a while I was kind of set on the PTE-52, which I know requires a 3" DP and ATR Billet External Wastegate. But I am speed hungry now. I have started looking at a T-70 or T-72 Ball Bearing Turbo. Does anyone know what kind of setup i will have to use to get that monster in there? I have an ATR Cold Air Kit (not yet installed)& battery relocator, but what size openings does that turbo have? Anybody?

The compressor on my T72 from AR Autosports has a 4" inlet and 2.5" outlet.

Crack smoker. Doesn't require an ATR downpipe, you could get a PTE turbo with integral wastegate to fit the PTE 3" downpipe. Better wastegate setup than the ATR, and allows access to the #6 plug as well.

What is your combination? What are your goals? Anything slower than 11.2 and the 72 is too big.

If you get the PTE turbo, go ahead and get their downpipe and kit. Their internal wastegate is way better than ATR's shitty piece.

If you want a bigger turbo, get a ball bearing unit from Mike at AR Autosports and get ready for some big power.

It really helps to set a HP mark or ET range for a goal.

Don't just buy the biggest streetable turbo that pops to mind and figure on buying the supporting cast after the fact unless you have an unlimited budget. Wanna run a T72 setup? Plan on completely tearing the truck apart and beefing up everything to keep pace. Or fix it as it breaks and have the truck on the road maybe a month out of the year. A lot of grey matter goes into the fast SyTys you see in the videos running 10's and 11's. Do your homework, and good luck with your project.
