Ahh.. Final drive ratio, now that I am familiar with, lol. Trans parts are expensive and hard to get at, not to mention I believe the speedo could possibly need recalibrating. Since this van does mostly around town low speed driving, I think a shift schedule change to PCM would be much more cost effective.

I'm still researching and considering the asymmetric turbo setup, the single turbo would be pressurizing both banks intake valves, only difference would be one bank would have slightly higher back pressure due to the turbo, from what I have read so far, this is not a problem.
