Alright now for me posting the auction link somone please give me ideas as to whats wrong with my red truck. ;p

I can't see in pic or either don't know what I'm looking for on a Hypermax, but is that thing gated or non-gated?
I never seen Hypermax setup except pics.
I should get somebody here to go thru a "roadmap" of that pic....I'm not for sure I recognize what everything is & for sure where it goes in the pic.
If that thing is in any shape at all it ought'd be worth that.....or not??
I should make a try for it...I been looking at another '90 NA.

It'll be bidding up round a gizillion$$ by Nov 4th though, be my luck.

Anybody here know how this Hypermax compares/should compare to my ATS nongated?

Pulse turbo kit with the cowl induction add-on. Not wastegated of course. No Hypermax kits ever are, as their stand on performance is low back presure and unlimited boost.

Stuff that starts cheap like that usually ends up selling higher because more people get roped into the bidding.

Cowl induction add-on. OK that clicked, I see it now. Thanks
Curious, still trying to understand more about turbos. I look at searched OB'er & Googled turbo info, A/R's, turbo maps,...clear as mud! Learning Latin be easier!

Hypermax setup any good on low end?
Like I say, my ATS is hi-end. Pulling loaded it smothers till 21-2200, then look out, surge & G's kick in & it'll drag your eyes round to your ears!

I wonder where my ATS a/r #'s be? Wonder about this Hypermax #'s too.
Must have too much time on my hands, cause I wonder a lot, don't I.

But I've decided I'm tired of feeling stupid...it's a challenge. I'm gonna someday understand turbos, IP, etc etc, more than I do now!!! I will. I will. I will!!!

7.3shrk, you can go for it....I'm out. Wifey caught me considering it....she didn't buy "Can't I look long as I don't touch??""
grrrrrr

I already bid at 300 - cant go much more. I just hope my wifey doesn't catch me looking at it or else I might be sleeping in my truck! (That's why I do it when she is not around)

ttman, I think if you want wastgegated you need to find a Banks Sidewinder or maybe an ATS factory turbo. I like the non gated. I see some difference around town, but I really never missed having the turbo when I was N/A until I got a big load or tried to keep up with highway traffic. Now, neither of those are a problem AND I still might have room to play on the fuel screw, but I'm going to wait and see what my EGTs are with my boat and/or a real big load of wood before I do that. Don't want to have to watch the pyro like a hawk. Around here, you best watch the road or you're gonna kill somebody! Plus I don't yet have backlighting.....

Part of my problem is "that's just it, I don't know" because I never drove any turboed rig that was gated, small, or even large semi diesels.

Heck, till 3-4 yr ago when I took couple diesel & related classes at local J.College, I didn't even know that there was variable vane turbos out-'n-about. I've seen gated ones before & knew what they were & for. Seen twin turbo set-up on diff. things & for diff. applications.

I always felt I was kinda wrench inclined, but thought I'd "Go to school & get learned-up some on rigs like mine," so I went to school. I got learned alright!
First & importantest thing I learned from teacher was "Yeah, those really old rigs, like your IDI, yeah, well we'll probably touch on them little here in class, don't hardly anybody drive them anymore...."

2nd thing I learned was everything is electronic & computerized today, & that's all they wanted to teach....everytime we pulled a rig in to work on or ck out, even cking the muffler bearings, it was "well get the meter out & ck the resistance across & between bearing & race......"

3rd thing was....I was too old, slow, dumb to be modern day wrencher!!

4th was what I already knew....takes yr of experience to know anything, even on older rigs. & there's no way I could own a newer electronic'ed rig!

5th thing was....always remember these faces of 40+classmates. If me or wifey ever put a rig in shop & see one of those faces, do a fast mental recall to see if it is 1 of the 3 that actually knew anything out of the 40+ ASE Certified Mechanics that graduated & now working on my & your car.....

(I know I'm being sarcastic, but I get tired putting car in shop, they put inexperienced tec on it to fix, yet he's still learning....fix everything with new parts +labor thru process of elimination & learning....& meter still running. My $$$$meter)

Actually were 2 teachers doing the Associates program, both older than me, & been mechanicing all their lives.
I had mine in one night & teacher asked "where's your w/gate? All turbos have to be gated, they won't run without one..."
