Default 94 dodge Diesel HP upgrades

Hello everyone I am a novis in Diesel turbo.

I just placed a fuel plate which gave some HP I would like to bring up the HP another notch. I was recomended to upgradethe factory turbo to the Super B turbo and to change my lift pump. I was told that this would give me another 100hp or more

Well everyone, do you think this is a good step to take. The truck is stock with the factory turbo, injectors, ect....

The only mode made is the fuel plate, silverline exhaust and air intake.

Well honestly we need a little more info the mods done to the truck so we can give you some advice. To say that a turbo is going to give you 100 horse is like saying stickers will add horsepower. It all depends on fueling, tuning, ect. Every truck is different. Depending on what fuel plate you have you may not need a turbo. Fill out a signature so we can help you some more and possibly through some insight in on parts such as gov. springs ect.

save for some transmission up grades before doing a whole lot to it. x2 on the gauges and KDP very cheap insurance.

DDP 0.42 Delivery Valves
DDP 3/4K Governor Spring Kit
Gauges 3 pillar pod with trans temp, boost, and pyro
BD Super B Turbo
injectors 5x0.012 which are 90 HP

Be careful on paying for a name such as ddp, good stuff but alot of name selling in that game. A super b is a good turbo but there may possibly be better choices for you. However im in the same boat as you with turbo choice. I dont really like marine injectors because of the spray pattern, they are hot and smokey. Go ahead and do valve springs and 4k's and just skip the 3k's. Wish i would have done so. Just my .02

you can upgrade a 3k kit to a 4k kit for around $20. the only difference is another small inner spring
