correct, we have hit 24 in the truck and 23 in the fairmont
the truck was running 20lbs even for over 6500 miles, and we never took it easy with that thing. no blow off valve and lots of 3rd gear rolling burnouts.
the gt45 is the best bang for the buck period.

Im running the on3 76mm and cant complain one bit. Ive been 11.4 @ 121 in my 5.3 truck and that was on 14psi with bad air. So 10s are inevitable. I just looked up the specs of the ebay gt45 and the turbine looks much better than the on3 unit. The on3 has a 65mm exducer and the gt45 has a 77mm exducer. But the on3 has a 76mm compressor inducer and the gt45 has a 68.7mm inducer. Do you guys think I would be better off with the gt45?

I think you would probably benefit from going with the Ebay gt45. It won't have as much back pressure as the on3 unit due to the larger turbine wheel. I think your tu1 cam will like less back pressure also. Try it out and let us know. Its only $300! LOL

The car was 2500 last year with ls1 no turbo and 1/2 tank and no driver. Added approx 160 lbs with iron block and turbo stuff.:-(. 20psi and a little luck and I'll shift this junky *** turbo into the 8s. Imagine what a nice auto would do.....

The gt45 is advertised to have a 69ish mm compressor wheel.
I have been going back and fourth about getting one for my LQ4. Cant decide on a Gt45 or a s475. My goal is to get my 3300lb car into the tens. It's 99% street car and I'm leaning towards the gt45 as it should be more than capable of getting the job done and should make it more fun on the street. Another thought is that I would be able to run a tighter converter with quicker spooling snail. What do you guys think? Of course the price of the gt45 is the most appealing.
