yes , its a 60mm- It should bleed off plenty of pressure when it opens.

My craigs list 4.8 had bad bearings


Picked up another 4.8 from a friend who pulled it out of his truck he bought new- It ran well when pulled so Ill keep my fingers crossed.



Wanna play the "what will it make on 15psi" game ?

That sucks man. Get some new bearings and have that motor sitting on standby...lol

On a good note, I drove the SC around the block last night. A little wet out but its tuning time!

The 3.5" is really tight. I don't think a 4" will fit.

I may be switching to 4" outlet turbo so I'm just going to use a reducer pipe for 3-4" off the turbo and merge it with my 3.5" pipe.
