swap
Do it! I am curious to see how your figures are. I greatly prefer the KKK turbo to the Garrett T3. as it spools quicker and makes my stop-and-go in LA much more pleasurable. It runs out of breath a little sooner than the T3 on the top end, but that is almost of no consequence. It gets better mileage than it did with the Garrett as well.

I should get it running again first... funny how one simple fix disables my stuff for months.
Its a 82 300D, kkk swapped, 4 speed swapped, and 2.87 rear end ratio.
My 80 SD usually averaged around 25 with no highway, mostly all 55mph roads in NY.
Now that I'm in TN I've noticed mpg numbers fall off the edge of the planet in everything I own thanks to hills in every direction and 35ish mph speed limits on most roads I drive.
Don't ask about any of my trucks mpg...
