check out beans diesel, they have a few bolt in turbos for our trucks.

and 10 grand was a low guess, I was thinking about it would probably be 15-18 considering you'll spend at least 4 just on a tranny, 2ish on a turbo, 2ish on injectors, 2-3 on an HPOP setup, and so on

I think H2E, 38r, and a s300 series turbos use 66mm...

Like i said, I don't know much about pulling trucks.

i was lookin through swamps. do you know how those turbos do? i was lookin at the BFH and that's built from 60 to 80. i'm interested in the 38r and how that'd do

Swamps would be a good place to call and talk to about turbo options...

The 38r would probably be my last choice, I think I would be looking at the H2E.

Depending on what injectors you do, i think the 38r will be pushing its limits... CSIPSD would know more about this than I do.

i think i'd have to go with injectors based on the charger because i'm limited on the charger and not on the injectors

Prison I have a cheaper solution that would benefit your Turbo needs.
the company is called Turbo Engineering Corporation. They are in Red Bluff, Ca one of the best in the business. Check them out, and give them a call. They can build or make from scratch any thing your after. Or they can rebalance and make the original flow better and be more reliable!

Those turbos don't look like anything special... Looks like a normal turbo rebuild shop...

Not sure about the best in the business.. I would call about 50 different places before them... Give them a call if you want. Just saying, I've never heard of them.
