Default Turbo Time!

Alright, Iv now gotten to the point where I have plenty of fuel getting to the engine. Now is the time to get more air in with it. So far I have been looking at getting one of the BD's turbo, as to my research most people have been using them.

Question is, i'm not sure if I wan't to spend the money to run twins. $3000+ is really pushing it. I was thinking of doing the Super B and then add on a twin if I wanted. But will that push enough air? Or should I get the super B Special and be done with it?

Thanks!
-Austin

Did you notice a huge difference with it? Also I was thinking of the BD mainly because I can buy the single turbo then upgrade to a dual turbo for a little bit more.

l saw a big drop in egts and its spools very well with my 90 hp nozzles talk to the guys at htt they will help down the road with up grade plans i think that it can be upgraded to twins but it really helped big time ive seen 60+ psi out of it but try to keep it down to 45 or so till i get studs dont really trust the overtorque i did

Ya the overtorque method will only go so far I wish studs were not as expensive as they are though!

Also is there a turbo that matches with the stock one to do a twin turbo off of what I already have?

And the only major mods I have so far are 90hp injectors and the Edge HOT. Will have a smarty stacked on top after I get a new turbo. What kind of EGTs are you seeing? I want to be able to keep it under 1300 at full power

Then go with twins. That is a pretty lofty goal. Full power meaning towing up hill with your foot buried or cruise control I assume. If you are talking about just empty then that's a different story. Any of the HTT 71 series, Indutrial Injection Super Phat shafts or Silver series would do the trick for you. I have no experience with the BD stuff. Most of these turbos will be fine to use in a twin setup later as long as you stick with a 62-64 mm compressor housing.
