Thanx for the reply i checked them out and the second one specifically said not for 2001-2002 automatics. The first one looked like the exact same piece but with a mounting bracket. Can anybody tell me what turbo i have on my truck i think it's the hx35 but i'm not sure.

a boost gage is a must with this. will it hurt the turbo. . .it can and will if you crank it up too high, however, keep it below about 40psi and you'll be ok.

I read some of the other forums that talked about the boost and turbos and they said that stock turbos can hold up to about 45psi but most of them said they run theirs at between 32 and 40.

45 psi before the compressor wheel blows apart, the waste gate opens at 26#, however on the electronic trucks 04.5 and up you can delay this to what ever you want, right now mine opens at 35# with my TST.
