Thanks for explaining Ben, and for the input/advice from everybody. Now who has a turbo on the shelf?

 

I called HTT about this when my HX35 went kaboom a few months ago. He'd had the parts on back order for 3 months (maybe longer) and didn't have a clue when he would get any nor would he guess.

As for which first if I was gunna throw one on in your situtation, I'd do the turbo for EGTs since ya tow. Otherwise I'd just stash it away until ya got both if EGTs weren't a concern.

 

i have a couple stock ones......... there are plenty of site sponsors that'll help you out with that need..... just go to their forums and get a price quote. i believe they all offer the big names, HTT (which i have and love), II, BD, and i even think someone on here sells Turbonetics/Garrett..... just make sure you do the research and know exactly what you want in a turbo before ordering. remember that a 14cm housing will be more laggy than a 12cm housing BUT a 14 will have slightly cooler egt's on the big end. so you'll lose a lil' bottom end to gain alittle more comfort on the big end..... and don't go too big. i think i did even though i'm happy with my 64mm i think i should have went with a 62mm..... if you go small (like the 62 or smaller) you can always in the future send it back to whoever you get it from and get it upgraded for no where near the price of a new one. that way you can get one that'll work good now and when you want a lil more power you can upgrade it to the next step up. it'll prolly cost more in the long run than buying the biggest right now but you will be happy as you increase your power along the way.

 

My highest EGT's were 1250 climbing a 6% grade with my 11k toy hauler, so no worries yet. Not sure what they'll be after small/medium injectors. I was eyeing I believe an HTT 62/12. They (HTT) seem to have a good rep and upgradeability later on. Most turbo upgrades say to go with 4" exhaust but the '03's have no cat and mine is 3 1/2" staight pipe to the axle and 4" the last three feet. Should flow well enough, you think?

 

a 62/12 should do very well..... egt's will be higher than that with new sticks and the stock turbo..... was that temp pre or post turbo? and how long did it take it to get to that temp? you will more than likely need to look into a boost fooler.... not sure of that Edge JWA does fooling.... other than that that's the turbo i should have got IMO......

 

Everyone one of you are wrong and should be ashamed of yourselves. The VERY FIRST BOMB that you do to your truck is put a dieselbombers decal on the back window.

 

Why yes of course

 

Pyro is pre-turbo, in the manifold. Temps got there slow and steadily, not like a spike or anything. Taking the same trip on Tuesday so I'll pay better attention to it. Aside from it's obvious name I'm not even sure what a boost fooler does exactly. The Edge came with a new boost elbow and I've seen 37psi with it, alarm is set at 36 to be safe.

 

you should get a smarty before your turbo or injectors......

 

You already have the Juice/Attitude, then keep it. It does do boost fooling, and pressure as well, if memory serves. 37-38 on the stock turbo is about it. 40 is the limit, after that is just blows hot air. I would do the turbo next, or buy both at whatever the budget allows and install them together. The juice will spool a decent turbo fine. I would look at either the Super B special from BD or the HTT 71 series. A Silver 62 from Industrial would be great too. All of these are more expensive turbos, but have better maps and will spool better than a more basic, less expensive turbo. Once you add some 50hp injectors, I think you will be glad you went to the higher rated turbo.
