Thats why I said "proper" 5sfTe and "Stock" 3sgte.

The 5sfTe is a torgue monster and laydown (Proven by Mike dodson) 200hp and 238tq to the wheels with only 9psi. The 3sgte puts at the crank 200hp 200tq running the stock 12psi.

Nice, it just sounds wrong I guess tongue.gif Do you know more about mikes setup? Like did he do alot internal and head work and what not or is it just basically the turbo?
