How many other stock turbos can do 11's? (even the FWD's) Or be easily put into the 12's? The 14b is a pretty damn good stock turbo. 95% of people that own dsm's do not know how to take care of them so therefore it will break often. I boosted a 14b to 17-20 lbs daily for approximately 25,000 miles and beat the shit out of it. Yet to have a problem with the turbo, btw, turbo probably has 100k on it easily.
What’s so cheap about it? The block/crank will take 800+hp, the rods are pretty stout. How can you call an engine cheap when it will support huge numbers for not even taking off the valve cover?
You sound uneducated on the subject.
