Turbo rebuild questions

[starscream5000]

Here's my thoughts: If you are going for big power, or +300 HP, then change it out. The stocker is decent as long as it's not beat to hell (take it out and dump a bunch of gas in it to clean out all the blow by built up in it throughout the years if you wanna keep it). My cousin has a full 3" exhaust (with the same DP as I've got, actually, exact same setup as mine) along with the full hardpipe kit on that link I posted too. The stock IC is still there and he has a SS air filter also, everything else is stock. We installed all of it at the same time and it was a night and day difference in throttle response, spool up, and overal power .

I already took mine out, and it was replaced in '03 when the prev owner plowed into a truck in front of him and the tow ball destroyed it. It is clean and not trashed at all. I am going for bigger power on "this" build. that being said, I might just go with the hardpipe kit for now, and leave it be. We'll see how she runs out.

Thanks,
