Default Getting A New Turbo SOON, But Is It The Right One?

Well I can get a really good deal on a BD Super B Special, but is it the right one for me? I don't tow, but I do daily drive this truck. Do I have enough fuel to spool it? I have a Comp and 150hp injectors. What do yall think? Also if you don't think I should go with this turbo what do you recommend?

The Super B Special is good for 550-625HP range I don't think your going to have enough fuel for that Beast.

I have 150 hp sticks and an edge juice w/ att and I wouldnt have a problem. I think I will be able to spool a special OK but I have an HRVP too. Let me know how you like it that is the charger I am thinking about going to.

So some say I'll be fine while others say no....

Well I will be upgrading my injectors to 200s sometime in the future, so I need to add that to the equation also.

Anybody else have any input?

DONT go HUGE
get a 62 and then you can use it as a top turbo later on down the road for twins!

I went with the 62/12 in prep to go with twins and ended up changing my mind. You can make good power on a single. BUT I'm not going for the 700's in HP either

This is a great idea, If your Not Looking for a All Out Power Making Dyno truck , a large single proably wont meet the bill! Now BD's Super B Special is a great spooling and high quality charger, But if your going to daily drive or tow, I would feel it would be too big! 200 HP Sticks will do a great job with this charger but it would be VERY Smokey until spool!

Ahhh heck what am i talking about, I daily drive my 66 with 8's
