Default Performance Mods ?

Here we go pouring money in the diesel .Here is my parts lists and what do you think. Air dog 150, 100 hp injectors BD ,stock injection pump still works (knock on wood) Turbo BD single, replace exhaust manafold 3 piece recommand manuf., adjust the valves I'm in there, trans is good level 10 built ,4 inch exhaust already done, edge comp done ,fliud dampner done, electric fans done , replaced all wore out front end parts, kill dowel pin kit, and the kitchen sink. I am a neebee to diesels but I know my way around a engine . Looking for some input on what works well together.....

OO is any body running a fuel pressure gauge that is mounted outside the truck that looks nice, I am not one to like the sending units and if so would you pass some info to me, please

I have 150hp stage 5 injectors in my 01 dodge. If i was you I wouldn't go any less than 150hp if your after the hp and smoke. my buddy got 100s and my truck will leave him sitting in the dust. after injectors my truck pulled the fuel pressure to 0psi make sure you get a gauge and you will need a fuel pump

Fuel pressure gauge is a must..... Do the Turbo and Injectors at the same time and get 150's. You get a Mechanical fuel pressure with a isolator or electrical.

Will the 150's affect the mpg alot, as in drive the speed limit,what is the min turbo size for 150 to keep the heat down.

Keep your foot out of it and the 150's will be a slight bit better fuel mileage.

As far as turbos it kinda depends on your goals. But I would say a Super B or Phat Shaft 62/12.

The Phat Shaft would be a better Turbo for your setup.
