1550 EGT What turbo to get

The truck flat out screams, and the EGT screams high numbers. What turbo will help me keep the cummins breathing cool and not melting down? I have heard good things about KSB1 or KSB2? What do you guys think?
thanks kevin

My vote goes for the KSB1 . Great turbo, SUPER heavy duty, SUPER fast spool, and in my opinion, UNBEATABLE .

I sidestepped the throttle many times on my old '01 with the PDR 40 on it and never had a problem. That turbo had about 75K miles on it when I took it off and sold the truck. I had it rebuilt just for good measure, but it was still plenty tight and performed great. It'll be going back into service in a set of twins pretty soon. For a comp and DD2s the 40 will fit the bill nicely.
