No doubt man. Everytime i change out pulleys I have to adjust the tensioner pulley to get it just right. I would say 1 boost run in 10 I get a little built slip but its not too bad.

As was stated before if your looking for a kit to buy then supercharger is your route...

If your like me and just have to have a turbo it's going to cost LOTS of mula...everything pretty much has to be done custom. Here's a link to what I am doing:

I still have a negative cash flow problem so progress is nill at this point

On the upside it will totally own

I'm starting to gather parts for a remote turbo build on my Dakota. FWIW I figure I should be in it $1500 or less by the time It's done.

sd-concepts.com just got done fabbing and installing a front mount twin turbo kit. I believe all the parts headers and all start @ around $5200, and can go up from there depending on turbo upgrades, waste gates, bov's, injectors and fuel system.

Krc also offers a twin turbo rear mount set up for around $3500 I believe, and that is with injectos, and tuning in the price.

My single rear turbo from krc is up and running as of yesterday, should have some dyno videos this week
