Default Turbo advice

I've been doing research on turbos and am wondering what turbo would be best and decent price. I pull with my pickup almost everyday. Looking for low egt's, I'm looking into flowing my injectors to add an additional 90 hp. I'm trying to get good usable power. Any ideas?

What mods do you plan on doing to or already have done to your truck?

So far I just have my pump turned up and a BD #6 fuel plate. I am looking to flow my injectors to add around 90hp I'm going to get a new clutch and transmission soon my clutch is starting to slip. I just feel like I could get more out of it with an upgrade on turbos.

I'm not sure my advice will help but I have all the mods in my signature and I have a super b special which is considered a big single. I'm sure you could tow with it but it really doesn't light until I give it some fuel and get on it.

Cheap and turbos don't really go together if you want a quality product. Unless you go with a box Borg with a t4 flange your looking at over 1000$ for a turbo. I suggest a sxe 62/68 wastegated .70t3 from power driven diesel, can't beat the price and no silly mark up that places like industrial and all the other big names throw on just for the name. You could tow and the turbo should support around 500whp

65 and 71 wheels are out of date. 62/68 and 64/74 is the new sxe sizes. dont bother with old stuff. most companies charge same price new for old chargers as they do the new ones. just get an sxe
