Congrats on the new turbo. I was running a Super B Special for awhile on my 24v. It was ok when I was stationed in NC but when I got out and came to CO, I hated it. At 6000 ft there just isnt enough air. Hopefully you shouldnt have that problem. Also, in my opinion, if the truck was smoking too much you should of gotten something that spools faster instead of that big of a turbo. But sounds like you have more fueling coming so good luck. Hopefully you have a built auto too. I got tired of waiting for that Special to spool every time i shifted.

Well guys I got the turbo on the billy it spools very slow and laggy it sounds wicked on the outside tho... It smokes like a mother on low end... And it takes forever to spool.. But the moment I took off the Superchips it seemed liked it ran a whole lot better.. Day and night... So I'm going to leave the Superchips off for a while and just run the 150's it still smokes but not as much.. But my next upgrade as of right now will be propane injection so that bad boy will lite.... And my turbo is a HTT pro street 66/71/14

Forget Propane... You need bigger injectors and a Edge Comp.

I can't even imagine running a 66 with no programming and 150 injectors... The spool time would drive me nuts. What are your egts on that setup just out of curiosity? Get an edge juice/hot/edge comp buddy

I wouldn't bother with the Smarty. Your need a Hot Comp or Edge Juice. You also need atleast 200hp injectors.
