I got a brief question. Now my hx40 turbo has a 3" exhaust port . But how will the 4" down pipe fit?

OK, couple of questions...

Have you advanced timing?
Dealt with governor limits?
Why are you running an oiled filter on a turbo diesel?
What exhaust?
Getting those things in order first will net you 400 HP without big x huge injectors.

Next step would probably be a set of 125 level injectors and make sure you have the air flow to clean them up.

After that, you are looking at a lot of hard parts... Valve springs, studs, balancer, FOR CERTAIN a triple-disk clutch and you will probably dynomite your stock transmission soon.

Power and play comes at a cost.

Dealt with governor limits? Does a smarty and edge deal with this as well as advance timming?
Why are you running an oiled filter on a turbo diesel? Keeps the turbo oiled id say;) haha jk no im
Running it cause i want to . Dosemt rob that much hp .
What exhaust? 4" straight back

I dont have an auto so ill burn the clutch worse comes to worse.. I wanma get used to standard vefore i throw in a new clutch, and u think 150 injectors is toomuch . I kinda liked the idea of 150 injectors.

Why buy on ebay? our nozzles are less expensive and flow matched within 1%. We also have a slight extrude hone to help them flow better and cleaner.
