57mm turbos

so im about to get some 75HP injectors and a new turbo to make around 360HP. Can someone tell me what the difference between these 4 s300's is?

pdr super s300--$1070
htt htbg 57--$1400
super b--$1335, comes with downpipe and adjustable wastegate
d-tech 62/65/12--$1099, i know this one has a 62mm comp wheel but its $600 less than similar turbos from the other 3 places.
don't know if a 62 would be to laggy at that HP level?

The 62 will be slightly laggier. But with the 12V, you can run the timing up a bit, add a 3K GSK and do some plate/ AFC work.

It'll make great power and spool that charger with no problem. In fact, you'll be glad you went bigger. 12 V motors need the air.

that's because you're not paying for the name of a basically stock charge with some supposed mods.

so you're saying that the d tech is a off the shelf s300 with a 62mm wheel (s362)? probably be staying away from the 62s anyways as i tow with this truck and i don't need any lag.

Just because something is cheaper does not mean that its' crap. Do you shop around for the best price when buying fuel or go for the most expensive cause it's gotta be better?. Just because company A sells a turbo for x amount doesn't mean there being honest ,There profit margin may be huge. Just my two cents.

Talk to HTT a little more about some options. You could look into a HX 35/40 hybrid. Thats a smaller turbo that Ive heard great things about for about that 300-450 hp range. 450 max I think.

No I'm not saying it's an "off the shelf" charger. The way I understand it is they do the same basic little mods that the other BIG name companys do. They just arent making you pay for for their name.

I also think you'd be just fine with a 62/65/12. That turbo will spool good.

Don't think anybody said it was "crap", at least not on this tread! Just think if something sounds to good to be true it usually is, I'd like to read some reviews on that turbo before i bought one and there aren't many out there. I'm confused on the 62mm turbos, why do all the manufacturers sites say they are for 400+ HP if they would work fine on a truck that tows and is at 350HP if I'm lucky (after injectors, not now for sure)? My plan is to get a 57mm and 75HP injectors, if that doesn't cool me off like i want build a small(low HP) set of twins, sound like a good idea? Researching bottom turbo now any suggestions?

i had a set of twins: stock hx35 over ht3b with 24 housing,, which is considered a small set, but imo is way laggier then stock.

i know of 2 places that sell new 62/65/12 or 14 for under $1000

Have you thought about a late model he351. Not a bad turbo for mild horsepower.
