Well today I went to PDI and had a turbo and manifold installed. Aparently WS has their own manifold design so they had to modify my downpipe and intake tubing but got it done. So far I haven't pulled a load but tomorrow is my 1st one![]()

Any results??? Big ol' smile I bet!!
Is the turbo in a different place on the star chassis? Did it all fit nice when they were done with it?

So I have been running the turbo for over a month and I am loving it. I have seen a 1mpg increase across the board, and the power is amazing!!!
The turbo had to be repositioned on the Star due to the manifold being different, but it only required a new oil drain tube kit and a longer flex pipe from the downpipe to the exhaust. -
What do you have for a engine? What are you seeing for power now?

MBN C15 and so far it's around 600hp. Going to try to get to the Dyno in the next week or two and see what's really getting put down. All I know is I have ran a few 50,000# loads and coming from West (UT and AZ) and headed east, I barely had to downshift, usually just splitting 12/13 and once I had to go down a gear on a 8% grade. Before, I would have to split 12/13 even when empty. So I'm pretty happy
1958Pete Thanks this.
