Re: 454 blown intake gasket? Just add Diesel!

you are correct. small turbos spool up quicker and produce power at lower engine rpms, but anything over 65mph and the poor little gm turbo is like breathing through a straw while working out. I've thought about hybrid holset set ups using 35 and 40 parts, I've looked at other Garrett and IHI options as well as Cat, but in the end it came down to what I found on craigslist in my price range.
