So Who Makes Drop In "OEM-Esque" Upgraded VGT Turbo's?

[Mad Maxx]

K, so I'm gonna be getting my Trans. built either for my B-Day or for X-Mas, so after that comes a Turbo.

I want a Drop In OEM VGT Replacement. Like the Cheetah that Brayden offers, it looks totally Stock from the Outside, but it's far from it inside, but I was wondering if anyone else out there is offering these now? I thought I heard about Garret having one in R&D.

...Also, does anyone know about the new AFE Intercoolers? Any Release Date or Info on them?

I was gonna recommend the Cheetah, but you already got that covered. I don't know anything about the AFE intercoolers, but I know Turbonetics makes one as well as Banks.

Yea, I got this Magazine the other day at Borders. It's called "2008 Ultimate Truck Guide". And in AFE's Ad, it shows it on a Cummins, then has a thing pointing to it that says "BladeRunner Intercooler" Coming Summer '08. Summer '08 is over, where the IC?!?! I went on AFE's Website and there is no mention of it or anything.

So no one knows of anything else?

Isn't the factory IC good for like 58psi? Or something like that?

Not a clue...The IC is going to be one of my last Upgrades though. I'm waiting until ALL the Companies out there get the Leak Problems fixed.

IMO, it's not the pressure rating that an intercooler is good for, it is the amount it cools the charge. Banks makes a really good one, and you might as well get a Banks Intake, and Boost Tubes, while you are at it.

The Banks IC's aren't designed for over 36psi IIRC. And that came directly from a Banks Tech.
