I've got a windbooster installed and from my experience does not eliminate the lag, does help though ;)

No difference.

Put in a heavy-duty clutch and become a platinum member.

Don't be a tool, use this: FORUM DIRECTORY

Did you search first?

Sucks to be you, glad I bought a 3.2 :lol:

Yeah I was thinking clutch, as mine feels like it slips now when the boost comes on hard, specially with the 33s

New intake setup with K&N Apollo
New custom Stainless overflow and catch can.
Really noticeable gains with this setup over the standard box. More throttle response right through and about 60km a tank more :D

This is just for the people who asked about running smaller bump stops.
Dont... Just Don't
I did and i was constantly doing boots and the sensor now, also the bottom of the control arm where it bolts is now dented in 4mm from too much lift in the front, i.e. maxed out downward travel.

Sorry to hear that mate, never nice to have damaged bits. This last post would be something that could/should get used on facebook nearly every day. Hopefully it won't disappear from view in this thread.

Yeah it's not that fun but it's better they break than something in the diff haha.

Yeah I've seen a lot of people ask about bump stops, and I've tested the theory and it doesn't work haha.

Wow turning an already awsome truck in to something even more amazing. Are you going with reduction gears to get those 35s moving? Cant wait to see photos with them on
