You're right about the rust problem. Ceramic coating is a better alternative but can be a bit pricey. Thermo-Tec does ceramic coatings as well.

I have the modded H2e with 180cc sticks. I absolutely love the setup. I tow a 36' 5er around 15,000 lbs. with no problem at all. Even in the mountains of Tn.

I went with the modded turbo from Beans because they were the only ones who would mod it that I found and Bean can also make sure you get BOTH intercooler tubes. Most other companies come with one. He also made sure I got the 3" y-pipe sinc I was going to upgrade my intakes to the 3" billet aluminum ones.

Yes there is a little lag with the 3" intake and Y-pipe, 6.0 cooler and the larger wheel on the turbo gives a bit more lag. It spools at 2000 rpm, but when it hits it you betteer be holding on. It is very fun to drive. I built it this way especially for towing so the little lag doesn't bother me. I wanted cooler egt's so I expected some lag. If you didn't mod the turbo there would be a bit less lag and other things I did as well.

If you do plan to go bigger in the future I would definately go H2e. They are versatile and have good bearings. The D66 Beans offers has the same thrust bearing setup that we do on the factory turbo.

Sounds like a nice setup there... Beans has good stuff.

Some of that turbo lag should be able to be tuned out. Just depends on exactly how big the turbo is. In most cases, a little lag is acceptable but if it's putting you in a situation where you have poor throttle response when pulling out into traffic or crossing an intersection then something will need to be addressed. That's just not safe.

No not that bad at all. I have a 5 speed so I can't build boost at a light then again as I said I don't race (usually). It has 20-25 lbs. of boost driving around town but it starts getting over 30 at 2000 RPM. Will hit 35 pretty easy once it spools.

The turbo has been modded and the 62mm wheel replaced with 66mm.
