Have been thinking about upgrading turbo's and came across ATS. Seems to have what I am looking for. Thoughts on this manufacturer. Concerns? Recommendations? Thanks guys!

 

Man, sorry no ones responded. I would like to install a compound set up, but only after I pay my truck off (in 3 years or maybe 2 if can pay extra). Budget is tight right now. What kind of programer are thinking of running?

 

I am unsure yet. Right now I run a triple dog. Dunno how it is gonna perform with the added potential. Have been also thinking of investing in a Bullydog PMT or Edge juice w/ att. Just really dont know which way to go right now. Need to cover the turbo, injectors, fuel pump, head studs, etc. before I worry about that. Like everything else the list goes on and on and on.

 

Cant comment on their turbo's but I have one of their ATS Arc Flow intakes and love it.

here is another option for turbo's. They should be able to come up with more options IIRC.

What exactly are you looking for?

Stock size single replacement? Slightly larger replacement? Huge Replacement? Compounds?

What kind of boost levels are you looking for?

Have you studded your heads? For more than 45 - 48 psi, you need studs.

How about valve springs? Over 60 psi and you'll want springs or you'll be floating valves and losing power.

For a good stock replacement, that can handle more boost but still spools up super fast, look at the Aurora 2000.

For a slightly larger repalcement (57mm) that will work great for towing, look at the Aurora 3000

Want a little bigger one to race your weekend warrior, look at the 4000 (64mm).

How about a big boy for sled pulling that still meets the 2.8" inducer class? Try the 5000 (71mm). It's as big as most stock engines can spool, but it IS NOT a good one for daily driving.

I run the compounds, A3000 w/ A5000. 72 psi is where it'll run to efficiently. Boost comes up just slightly slower than stock, until 10- 12 psi, then there is no comparison. It's like lighting the fuse on a rocket.

If you got the dough, my vote it compounds.

 

Without bigger injectors, I don't recommend anything bigger than a 3000. You just won't have the fuel to spool anything bigger than that.

With that Bullydog, a 3000 would be a good combo to control the EGT's and give you some more boost. The Bully will push plenty of fuel to spin the 3000 and not lag you very much during daily driving.

I wouldn't go with the 4K or 5K (alone) on a daily driver. As a compound setup, they are great, but alone, without bigger sticks to spin them, you'll have horrible lag.

Again, if you got the dough ($5000) I say do the 3K/5K combo. If you want to go more reasonable, use the 3K of your setup and I think you'll be happy with the results.

My buddy runs a 3K on his truck and it performs very well. Very little smoke, except under a load and the lag is minimal.
