Need help selecting a turbo(s)
Hey guys im new to the site as ive been doing some research on a turbo setup.
Little about my truck...
its a 2005 Ford F-350, after a few sets of head gaskets and finally warping a block on the stock powerstroke I decided to do a cummins conversion as I love the truck but not the motor....
Ive not got a 2004.5 cummins 24v in place with the 5speed ford tranny and 4:10 gears.
Im running 37" Toyo MTs on 22" Rig wheels.
for help in clearance ive got a factory 2002 manifold and currently a stock holset 1 hx35 (smaller impeller) and im maxing out at about 26-27lbs of boost but my EGTs are getting quite high, and to be honest I dont feel comfortable throwing the boat or a trailer on the back...
Ive got a 5" Bullydog exhaust and a K+N Style cold air. Im also running a juice with attitude..
now where im at is trying to decide to go to a twin setup to really drop EGTs and run some decent numbers or just a single bit bigger maybe even a holset 3 hx35 or something a bit bigger.
I would love to hear your suggestions... ideally I want to keep My egts down below 1100 while towing. Id love to have the power but really the towing is what im using the rig for... I realize I could go to some smaller tires but I love the look...
The twins im contemplating buying are a Super B Turbo and an r700..
Id appreciate any help or suggestions you guys have.
I also have a Fass...

injectors are stock, but I do have a set of 80hp BD tips I could throw on... if I did that id want to put some ARP headstuds on just to be safe...

actually i was running this setup before pump and sticks, so i think you would be fine cause all that was done to mine was the smarty at the time of install. the He351 is the stocker on mine so its got a pretty quick spool to begin with.

that i dont know, i thought the hx35 was a 2nd gen turbo and the he341 was before the 351, but for all i know its the same turbo .
you could also run the hx35 with the 3b as for dropping egts i have no info on that.. you could also run an s400 under either one, which will make piping alot easier since its a clockwise turbo rather than counter like the 3b.
