Get one of the turbos i posted links to and put a wastegate on it at like 42 psi.

He only has 1200$ so he can't get a big big variant custom S300.

PDR hx40 should be fine for you.


an HX35/12 won't even come close to supplying enough air for 6x.016 injectors and be able to tow.

i don't know about the aFC lever though....

An HX-40/16 supposedly spools a tiny better or same then a stock H1C with a 18cm.

You have 1200$ so I'd buy a peirsdiesel PDR HX40/16, they customize it to make it spool up quicker and its the newer style HX40 with the 7 blade compressor.

I think a member on here has a PDR HX40/16 and he put down just over 400HP with it on stock NON i/c injectors.

With a stout torque converter you should be able to put down 400hp + if you spend some time tuning it. 6x16's and a MODDED hx40 should have no troubles laying down 400HP if the power is getting to the ground.

Are you still running the stock lagmaster exh. housing 89f150?

build anymore? well yeah. quite a bit more

HX40 can support around 400Hp i'd say. It may get a little hot though.

Can't you up your budget to $1500?

Your stocker is a 56/60/21

PDR HX40 is a 60/65/16 with mods of course making it $1200

If you're thinking of gearjammer91, he also had w/m. I agree with everyone who's suggesting a 62/71, you could probably find a used one for 1200. Search fleabay.

I disregard everything i said in this thread about gettting a turbo.

Go get yourself a Goerend, or DTT converter first. $700 at most.

THEN get a turbo. If you add a bigger turbo your going to make your converter worse and you probably won't feel much extra power.

I put some clean motor oil in a pump type oil can & give the oil fitting on the turbo 12-15 good shots of oil before connecting the oil line when I swap my turbos around..
