After stacking every available performance box on the market and adding a 6" dia. exhaust from tip to downpipe, I found my DMax isn't getting enough air to burn all of the fuel.

The solution? Well, I figured it's going to take a bigger turbo to raise the boost pressure and air flow and here's a picture of it:

I would go with compounds and have that as the smaller charger

The biggest turbo I had ever seen with my own eyes was one from a railroad locomotive. What is this one out of, a small diesel powered ship?

Only one concern.......
You might have a little turbo lag waiting for that baby spool up. :D

Can't burn all the fuel??

Your fuel tank ain't big enough to get you out of the driveway with that sucker!

What are you planning to run for a boost gauge and are you gonna go pre or post turbo for egts? ;) All kidding aside, someone better let Mackin know that this is only a joke and...wait a second....Never mind he just emailed me pictures of one even bigger that he's already mounted to his truck. :rolleyes: Don't you people know what posts like this do to the poor guy? I just wish you people would consider the consequences of these jokes. Some of us have to live in the same state as him. :confused: BTW what happened to my avatar?! :mad:

I'm keeping my 0-350psi gauge, because this turbo is a high volume low pressure unit. I'm going to have to use at least 5 pyrometers/gauges to monitor multiple pre-exhaust turbine locations because of the large dia. input and install a 500 gallon fuel tank in the bed to handle the extra fuel to get over 300 miles range. :D :D :D
