Is this a good price for this turbo? And the HTB2 62/14 will make a good towing turbo, right?

That's not bad. I would call or email these guys though just for comparison. Ask for Aden or Cash. Also, I would almost go for the 62/12. The 14 will require a little more fuel to spool it then it looks like you are running. Belive it or not, I think the 12 would cool better than the 14 in most situations while towing plus it will spool close to stock. I'm sure you'll get other opinions.

My understanding is that 62/12 is better for an auto and that 62/14 will need a few more rpms to keep from being "lugged". HTH

Thanks guys, this is just the info I was looking for.

I now have a HTB2 62/12 lined up, just need to find a way to pay for it!

I have the Htb2 62/12 on my truck and I love it.. It spools quik, the egt's are lower than the stock turbo and with the HTB2 62 can be upgraded to the 14 exhaust housing..

The only problem with a 62/12 is that you'll want more charger in a short period of time.
I ran a 62/12...good spool up and power but top end I thought kind of lacked.

With a 3rd gen 04.5-07 I would at least go for a 64/12 or 64/14.

Would you go with a 64/13 SS with a 71mm turbine wheel? After the Smarty and the XZT I figured I'd go with a 62/13/71 SS. If I can go bigger with these mods I definately will.

I'm done with power enhancers. A single programmer or module is all I'll ever have. I don't think there will be enough fuel to spool a 64.

I always try to leave room to grow.....saves money down the road.

I towed about 20k behind me yesterday and had zero problems with my 66/14. but I do have more fuel and a 6spd. If all you are gona run is a quad then you should be fine with the 62 but really? You dont want anymore power?

t-boe

More power? Will, are you kidding me? I want ALL the power. If my wallet would allow it I would be pushing the 4 digit mark by now. Since I've got limited funds and a family to care for I'm keeping my power levels at a reasonable level. Definition of reasonable level: Making enough power to temporarily feed my thirst, but not so much as to require sinking tons of money into my truck. At least this is how I explained it to my wife.

Yeah, you gota keep those priorities straight.

For me it is pretty much 1 God 2 family 3 power, but thats just me

That's why I like HTT. I went from the HTB2 to a HTT 71 for the same money than buying the HTT 71 outright. The only thing I lost was my time for R&R on both chargers. That's ok though it allowed me to grow at my own pace and I like working on my truck. I can do it fairly fast now as well. I couldn't get away with that big of a charger with what I tow up here at altitude so I was a little scared about just jumping into a larger turbo. Now, I can go to twins if I want this Fall and my current turbo will make an excellant top.

If you're going to stick to your current module then I wouldn't go any bigger than the 62/12 because you will hate the EGT and the spool not to mention the surge capability.
