    you obviously dont know about turbo spool. NeXT time you watch sled pullers on youtube, take notice how long they sit there with no power at all and have to spool the turbos up before they launch. Same goes for when you put a little bigger turbo on your truck. You arent going anywhere for a while. Unless you have an automatic truck. I suppose you can si there at the light while its red and hld the brakes while you throttle up to get the turbo to spin Should take a minute or so

    Pour a bottle of blue pills in each fuel tank and add nos. Same effect will be accomplished and is the only Dot approved horsepower adder.
