Anthony and Chris are back to tackle a topic we often get a ton of questions about: compound turbo kit or single turbo?

Class is in session on turbos!

We have a mid-week bonus episode! The boys wanted to get Nick Priegnitz, founder of Calibrated Power/Duramaxtuner, into the podcast to discuss what he and they think of the initial numbers and news on the 8.3L Duramax L6P "Mongoose."
