The "van turbo" is a great upgrade for higher-HP stock injector'd (like that word?) trucks. The less-restrictive turbine housing frees up a few HP on the top of the rev-range due to less restriction, pretty well eliminates surge because of the lower compressor speeds at 1800-2200 RPM, and keeps EGTs manageable.


This is a great upgrade for not a lot of money because of all of the advantages. The only real disadvantage is a somewhat perceptible increase in low boost spool up time.
