Default Need More Air

I recently upgraded my lift pump and turned the power screw in. I am now fighting EGT's big time. I tow over 15,000 lbs quite often. I love the added power, but I can't use it very long.

I would like to upgrade turbos. I'm not too concerned about spool up. It doesn't need to spool any faster than my H1C. I have been thinking about a super HX40. What would you all recommend?

I have also thinking about an HE351VE controlled with a simple waste gate actuator. Would this be a good option?

ive heard the hx40 doesnt last. Supposedly its not too long before you get shaft play in it.

If your going to end up doing more mods in the future and you're willing to spend the money I'd step up to an s362 or something. I went with industrial injection and their phat shaft turbos use an hx40 flange. The silver bullet I got spools about the same as the factory h1c but flows enough that my upgrades have started slipping my factory clutch and that was something my hybrid 60mm didn't do. I still have about the same fuel economy as with the other turbos

Spend your money wisely, and spend it once.
