Why bigger turbos make more power than stock turbos at same PSI

Yeah, I think.  It's like water pumps.  A bigger pump supplying the same psi on the same size pipe will create higher velocities.  And, when you reduce the pipe size it will increase the velocity.

I haven't had the opportunity to dyno my truck with the bigger turbos on it yet but I do know they make more power.  I play on occasion on the old hwy that goes by my subdivision, it's flat, straight and you can see for at least two miles in either direction.  Before my turbos I was getting 0-60 times of 5.5 sec, now I'm seeing 4.75's

Whoa!  That's quite a gain!  Must be fun hanging on to.

Yeah, its an F150 super crew with 33" mud terrains on it. I bought a set of stock 17" Xlt wheels that I need to get tires for so I can take it to the track this spring.
Launches are pretty bad ass, I just try not to do the 4x4 too often with these heavy ass tires on here. Its done some clunking here and there, almost like the 4wd wasn't fully engaged.
Also this was done over and over previously and after install, same spot in the stretch of road to try and keep it as consistent as possible.

It was a good mod for the money, IMO.  Love the look of your SHO Mac, when I was dealing on my truck they had one on the lot that looked similar to yours I was eye balling.

Thanks red...  working on a tasteful blackout and the lighting.   Getting ready to make it run a bit quicker... maybe not as fast as your ride.. but quicker.

Well from what I can see of the pics in your Sig, you're doing a nice job. I'm sure you'll have no trouble besting my heavy brick when you get into the performance aspect of it, these SHO's are pretty bad.
My truck is black and I've gone with a black/gun metal theme. I need to get the milled part of my wheels done yet and my FX redone (was done before i decided to do gun metal).Had planned on tinting the tails but I just painted the clear edges black which is a subtle but no d changd

Sounds awesome, I'm partial to a black vehicle LOL ...until the show my DD was F150-F350.. Love trucks!  Pics please?  :please:

My last F150 FX4 was a flame blue and black theme. I did the Heads and tails by replacing them with the black filled SVT raptor version... pure bolt-on change.

I might be iinterested in a turbo upgrade eventually depending on the cost vs performance upgrade benefits, but I don't have the time to be the guinea pig.

I'll get some taken and up soon, its negative something or other out today so wont be doing it today, lol. I haven't really taken many of it other than specific shots of part installs and what not people have requested.
