So with my slight fuel mods, if I add a 16cm housing and a 60mm wheel I shouldnt have any issues with my egt's? I do work the truck. Towing 12000 to 14000lbs at a whim. I am searching for a nice used 16cm housing. I might end up buying one new from PDR at $165. Aswell as a 60mm compressor wheel. Thanks for your info guys!

The only downside is, they are pretty hard on the wallet. Over 1K...

Yeah it is a turbo. In my opinion it is the best all around single charger for these trucks. With a 14cm housing it spools real well, and will handle a lot of power. More power than most first gens will ever throw at them.

What size is the compressor housing and wheel for the stage IV upgrade? The stage III is 60mm, so I'd think it's larger then that. Dave is running a stage IV compressor upgrade with 6x.016 injectors, which would be larger then a 370 injector for sure. But then again he has the water/methanol which is like a "chemical" intercooling. A truck without it would see higher EGTs especially with a larger injector.
Just because it's on my truck does not mean it's a good combination.
6x16's are too much for a hybrid turbo.

There's not a mouse fart's difference between them. If you stick with the stock intercooled injectors, a hybrid will be enough. If you go with bigger injectors, don't waste money upgrading the stock turbo, get a bigger one.

So will the hybrid be enough with stock non/ic injectors? Gotta be much better then the stock h1c doesn't it?

Non/ic injectors wil still run hot with the pump turned up enough. But with a 60mm hybrid, that combo is plenty manageable EGT-wise and probably the best low-budget bang for the buck.

I beat on my 60mm with 52psi and so far so good. Max EGT I've seen is 1450* at 100mph in 4th gear. Its not enough turbo for my needs but in the mean time it seems to be holding its own. Sounds good too. lol

yeah, my egts get hot towing. i just need to fiddle with the timing and maybe swap out the fuel pin and it should lower them if i need to tow a heavy load. the most i tow is a flatbed with a bobcat. so i dont really need to.
