Also just recently installed riffraff wheel on 03 6.0 and gained 6psi of boost so yes these wheels weather it be ww2 or riffraff are very well designed and very cheap and turbos on the super duty model 7.3 and 6.0 are something you can do in a lunch hour seriously I timed myself on the 6.0 from the time I started to the time the truck started it was 1 hour and 15 minutes

i have seen dyno test results that say other wise. now this was on a cummins, so it is possible that the power stroke is so badly designed that an after market wheel does help. but you wont get results like that on a cummins unless the wheel is cracked, chipped, warped, ect.

Well I want to upgrade my turbo cause I plan on getting my truck up to some serious numbers but before I get to the big numbers and have to do twins what would be the best single turbo for me? I'm about to get a smarty touch and I have performance injectors so I don't see lag being to big of a problem. I want the best for the money and want a good sound I've heard the fleece turbos are great and sound badass ? What do y'all recommend?

what are your power goals? knowing that will help us help you. there are a number of options depending on what you want for power. you say lag wont be a problem, but lag not only depends on tuning and injectors, but also what your primary turbo is. you will get the fastest spool using the stock turbo. stocker/s475 is a popular set up and spools fast. 63/475, 65/475, 65/480, 66/480, 67/480 there is a few compound set ups that you can do, just need a power goal to pick the right one.

I'm trying to get 7 or 800 and ima slowly buy parts for it and I want a good turbo that can spool with a smarty touch and injectors but also handle when I put more stuff on ! I'm not looking for a scientific answer I'm just wondering what turbo is best for 500 hp and will still be fine for 800 ?? And I no the turbo won't spool super fast at 500 all I care is that it will still push hard I've built a 24v I had on 8 lug Mag and I had a quadrille and rv275 and bought a big turbo that everyone said wouldn't spool properly and well sure enough it spooled better than anyone thought worked better than perfect!!! The reason I'm asking is I haven't really looked at many new turbos so just want to see if y'all knew a turbo that out performs others ?

From what I was told the 03 -04 have he341 and the newer models have the better he351 is that true ? And I've been looking at turbos and some say t3 flange and some t4. What flange do I have or how do I tell ?? I can take a pic of my turbo if needed it's small but I do like how small the exhaust house is cause I do get a very very nice spool

yes the 03-04 have the he341. starting in 2004.5 they put the he351 in them. so depending on if you have an early or late 04 will depend on what turbo you have. look up part numbers on the turbo to see what turbo. There is tag on the top left side of the motor (drivers side), if it says 325HP that should be the 2004.5

O I no I have the he341 cause it's a mechanical waste gate and the he351 are electronic but all u have to do is plug it and tie the wires outa the way. If u no anyone that has a he351 i want it and how much could I sell my he341 for its nice and runs perfect I just want something that will handle 40psi a lil better. But I would really like a fleece I heard they sound awesome and that's what I really want.... Loud whistle and quick spool and a lil more air flow !!! What y'all recommend
