    There is a better turbo for your application that will give you back your jake and spool quicker. It is a borgwarner and from what i've heard it is the same turbo that pdi sells as there stage one. Here are the part numbers
    Compressor-175958
    Cartridge-175964
    Turbine housing-171698
    C-16 turbo- 175963
    you can get the c16 turbo and the 171698 turbine housing and just swap the turbine housing.

    I run the turbo powerfreak posted it spools and jakes very well. Turbo exchange in NC is where I got it for $1650 plus $38 shipping. You might have to wait for one though they are hard turbo to get. PDI sells them for $2400 or so. Not sure what kind of power youre putting down but this turbo is good for 700/750hp or so. editted...Just read your sig 7cz flash, fuel temp wire, and this turbo will be good you will be happy..

    I have a truck running the same setup 58's, that turbo and a 7cz flash and it is pretty strong and still has a good jake. You could sell that turbo and try to make back some of what you otherwise would have lost, that 198123 is better suited for a mechanical cat.
