okay second drive impressions, this turbo is great, the turbo whistle and blow off valve noises make for a fun test drive and the response feels close to a stock turbo I highly recommend it, I will be doing some data logs in the next few days and will post about the findings, Work Turbochargers claims the 52mm compressor wheel is good for 500 crank HP
I am guessing this is not a useful upgrade unless you do a custom tune? I'm wondering if this one will spool up faster for less turbo lag? I was thinking of going the direction of gearing prior to my engine issue.

On a side note, hear Wed/Thursday my truck will be done.

Hello all,
Not super knowledgeable about this turbo stuff...
Is this just a turbo swap? Like direct bolt on? (Gotta have new plumbing?)
Running stock tune and injectors?
Just wondering? lol
Every time this happens it cost me more money!

turbo is a direct swap, you will need a tune to take advantage of the bigger turbo, no injectors are needed if you stay on 91/93 octane fuel

Ok, here we go again!
You say direct bolt on! How much gain without tune? (Probably to early to ask!)

How much for the upgrade kit? is there more available?

Thanks!

My guess would be the same bump as a canned tune. Its a good bang for the buck improvement if you exhaust all other bolt on mods. Stock truck, probably not a huge gain.

If I could stick a twin spin ecoboost like I had in my F150 inside my Ranger then life would be better, that 3.5l ran like a striped ass ape and it was stock.

No kidding, this loaner F150 I am in has the 3.5L Hybrid setup and in Sport mode, for a truck it sure has some pull. I am surprised the coyote 5.0L swap hasn't gotten popular here. Seems like Australia and Thailand perhaps are the two countries that I have seen videos with them. I wish I had the money to seriously consider a swap like that.

Man dude, must make for a fun truck! That must put it close to or better than this F150 Hybrid I am in and this thing is pretty quick down low in the RPM range.
