Default anyone running a close turbo while pulling?

is there anyone running an S362 or other 62mm inducer with a larger exhaust housing like the divided .91 A/R T4 on an aftermarket manifold with a ported head. im wondering if it will spool good enough to pull a decent load around on a trailer with out getting hot or having surging issues. the truck will have injectors and delivery valves in it hopefully by the time it hits the street or not long after. im trying to find a happy medium as i dont wanna have the truck run hot and i only want to buy one manifold seeing how there not cheap!

Depends on the injector setup and what stall the converter is.

well as of right now i have not ordered injectors or a converter. it will probably be something like 5x14 or 5x16 for injectors. 042 DV's but im really unsure what the stall speed of my converter will be.

that does seem pretty low. ive always been told you want your converter to lock at the max torque range but this was also for a drag car not sure if its quite the same for a daily driver diesel

With a low stall converter and a 68mm turbine, a 12cm housing would work best for you.

And with a 62mm wheel, 5x12s are going to work the best, 5x14s would be the max I'd go.
