Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.

Nothing free, but not bad cost.

And I should be able to set it up to do real time tuning with some extra work. That is slick, I mean REAL slick!

The cost isn't trivial to get in, there are cheap routes to go, but not the safest either.

You need a PROM Burner, UV Light, Memcal adapters, PROM's (some are tough to get), software, understanding how to use the software, understanding on how to tune.

Illumina, when we going to the turbo 4.9L going? The shorter stroke 4.5L PFI is also a good choice. Being alum block and not a performance engine, 300 hp is about as far as I would go to start, but it is very doable.

Also, I have found M90 Eaton Superchargers low cost, $50-$150 (check sinister-drag designs for parts, http://www.sinisterdd.com/) and you can make up something that is pretty darn fun.
