HP and Turbo limits
I was hoping some of you would know what the HP rating is for a auto with upgraded TC, Valve body and billet imput shaft. Also whats the minimum HP needed to move a silverbullet. will a Juice, predator puck combo push it or does it need more. I dont want to get a small turbo now then grow out of it I only want to by one but also would like a turbo that can be upgraded to twins maybe later on?

I would call Industrial Injection about the questions you have above regarding the silver bullet and upgradability. The silver bullet is a big turbo on its own and they do use it-- a modified one-- for their biggest twin set. But that is not a daily driver! If you want to start out with one and then upgrade to twins, I would suggest starting with a smaller turbo made to upgrade to twins and make sure you use the right components (like exhaust manifold) to allow easy upgrading in the future. PM IdahoCTD here for direction. You can also contact BD diesel or ATS as they do this sort of thing too...

High Tech Turbo
Another option is High Tech Turbo. Paul, I believe it was steered me to the turbo I really needed and not wanted, glad I spoke with him. Good aspect about HTT is you can upgrade a turbo purchased from them for the fraction of the cost of another one. See their website www.htturbo.com .
