I know some of you are running D-Tech S300's from Diesel Auto Power. I hear a lot of good things about them, and I'm planning on going that direction.

My first choice was a BD Super B Special (still is) but the D-Tech is much more reasonably priced...or so it seemed.

My question for D-Tech owners is this, (and please over-elaborate)...Start to finish, what will I have to do to put this turbo on my truck. Doesn't seem like a bolt on, as there seem to be output flange/downpipe issues. Is this correct? What did you guys have to do?

Also, the D-Tech has the option of adding a downpipe (extra $150) that fits it's output flange. That brings it pretty close to the price I've found on the Super B Special, which comes with it's own downpipe!

What's the deal?

Finally, anyone with a D-tech, please post up a vid of it (or at least a pic) as I'm anxious to see a real one

 

The D-Tech will bolt right up to the manifold. Where you'll run into problems is the compressor cover is 3rd gen style. IIRC the D-Tech exhaust housing is about a 1/2" shorter then say a super B or HTT. Also the super B special is a much bigger turbo than the D-Tech.
