just wondering what upgrades you guys recommend next? my friend said i should get a boost controller and from searching around the forum i guess the greddy pro spec is the way to go? do i have to upgrade the wastegate too or wat? i do have a external waste port that was welded on the crossover. do these upgrades make sense i running 15lbs on california pump gas will turning up the boost and getting these item make any difference. i dont have a datamaster either. Or wat else would be cheap upgrades?
What should i upgrade next?

Re: What should i upgrade next?
I wouldn't start turning up the boost on cali 91 octane.. get a scan tool like datamaster www.ttspowersystems.com first or hookup with a local syty owner who can run there dm on your truck to see exactly how well your truck is running before the motor pops.. these motors don't handle detonation well and unlike most motors, if you can hear it pinging.. then it's too late so that's why a scan tool is a must... also if you haven't already, upgrade your stock fuel pump to a walbro 255.. stock fuel pump was barely enough for n/a 4.3 trucks

Re: What should i upgrade next?
thats my Ty! got the fuel pump and alky injection nipples just need to find alky a pump. my friend offered to give me his but will see. as for coilovers i dont think im ready for that yet although i loved to make it handle better. do i really need a afpr? i dont know which chip i have but bought the engine from rpm as a kit; chip and all. just loooking for cheaper upgrades. my next big upgrades wen my turbo goes will be a new turbo and intercooler. but until then i going to be still saving!

Uhhm, yes :tup:
Your money would be better spent on your next big upgrade being tuning equipment and a good tune. :eh:
