Recommended turbo options?
 

Hello to all. Today I blew my turbo :argh: I bought the truck a week ago it had some issues so I got it for a good price and dropped it off at my local diesel shop and had them sort things out . I got the truck back yesterday newly equipped with 150hp injectors, bullydog GT, ARP bolts and an air dog fuel system. They advised that the stock turbo could handle it but it will shorten the lifespan of the turbo in the long run. Today I finally decided to floor it to see how things felt and I got some crazy noises from the engine bay, I let off pedal and got the sounds of nails on a chalk board. I cruised back home let it cool down and then removed the air tube and sure-nuff there is some serious shaft play. I am new to the turbo diesel world so I need some help to find out what is the most affordable option I can go with on replacing my turbo with one that can reliably handle the mods I have so far. I apologize for my ignorance on the topic but I am not familiar enough with the terminology to even know what to search and I would like to gather some opinions and info before I go back to the shop on monday, so I don't get sold (again) on the wrong option. Thank you all in advance!

Thank you sir, I have not got off my laptop since I posted this thread and I am down to BD Killer B 63/68 or Silver Bullet 62/68 remaining questions are:

are they plug and play can I just swap them out for the stock turbo or will additional hardware be necessary ?

how difficult is the the install?

**I have done several turbo swaps and upgrades on gas turbo cars but never on diesel. I simply can afford to pay some one to do it after spending that much on a turbo. Thanks again for your help!

I forgot to mention how I use the truck. It is my daily driver it will see a lot of highway and city miles and occasional light towing (motor home trailer and generators maybe once a month)

hx 40 down pipe.

How can the hx40 pipe be identified because the truck has a full exhause and may possibly already have this downpipe.

if it has a stock turbo it dont have a hx 40

Copy that.
