I don't know of anyone here who runs it.

The turbo is mounted under the bed, as is the air intake, so consider that before wheeling with it.

it is christmas time you know, toys just happen to show up on your doorstep. I would have a couple if they were in stock :mad: GO FOR IT, i doubt you will ever have a problem w/ stuff coming up that far in the truck seein how high your is sitting. Curbs just don't jump up and tag turbos :D

I'm sure moisture won't be an issue...

Yea, well that price tag is still a little up there. I did notice the turbo ran underneath the truck, I wasn't too impressed with that.

Is that picture of the URD kit?

That is the URD kit prototype installed on a 3.4L S-Runner

That URD kit looks sweet! Wouldn't the super charger work better for offroad than a turbo? Due to a superchargers ability to give instant boost compared to a turbo timing up.

Those days are long gone.. The with new technology in turbos if setup correctly can start boosting at 1500 rpms and peak as little as 2300 rpms with about if not more boost than a supercharger. Also turbos are more efficient since they use waste exhaust to power the turbo and don't have the parasitic effect on engine caused by a pulley.
