last I heard if the kit was avail, the cost was in the ballpark of $800
be mindful, ATS has p/n and prices listed, but no stock to back it up.

huh. wonder if it would be actually worth it to change just the housing? Instead of a larger turbo. Not bad if it would guive some noiticable power, but isnt any more than 10-12 psi pushing the limits?

actually, you might experience a DROP in boost due to the drop in restriction.
be mindful, boost is a measure of restriction. Still, the faster the exhaust gets out the better off you are. My '92 is loafing along at 6psi on a 8-10 deg grade and I'm hitting 900deg on the pyro. this is pulling a gross combined of 14k in 4th direct @55mph. The motor isn't being stressed, no need to keep an eyeball on the pyro that makes my life alot easier and that's good
oh yea, there's a half height IC involved in cooling the intake charge.

Checked with those guys about the kit. Not in stock and 'Scott' was puzzled as to why
the page was listed as it was......so he moved it to the '7.3 idi' item in the left hand
column, but still not in stock!?
