Ok so i took off my cold air intake to clean the filter and thought i would give the turbine wheel a quick check and to my surprise its unbelievably loose.So i figure since i just put ddp4 injector's in awhile ago i would just up grade my turbo.So since i already have a hx35,12 cm turbo now i would buy either a hx40 or an s300.I dont know which would be better for me so i thought i would ask for your guy's advice.

 

From what I've seen:
- The HX40 will be the lesser expensive with fewer options/variants.
- The S300 can potentially be much more expensive but a bunch of different configurations are available.


What do you do with the truck?
How deep are your pockets?

 

I drive it to work everyday we play in the mud and snow together and i haul my satellite around in the summer.Money isn't a problem.I am going to order a turbo from piers on monday i know they list a few different s300's and only one hx40 and both are only a hair over 1200 or cheaper with the winter sale.

 

I think the 62/65/14 PDR sells would be a good choice

 

You dont think that would be to big.

 

Not with ddp4's

 

If you use your truck to tow, or just run around town, the HX40 would be the better choice, in my opinion, simply because it spools faster than a 62/71/14 S300. If performance is your goal however, the S300 would be the better choice.

My next turbo will be a 60/68/14 S300, as they spool fairly quick, and can support a good bit of horsepower.

 

Never seen those specs on a 300 before. COOL. If I ever buy another 300 it will be the 62mm model with the 65 exhaust. My 57 300 will be sweet when a big boy gets put with it.

 

I hadn't either until a few months ago when my brother showed me. If I recall correctly, the website they were listed on was "Engineered Diesel" or something like that, and they were only listed around $800. Of course once they get popular, they'll skyrocket in price.

 

I only tow a few times a year and it's my 66 satellite in a enclosed trailer,mostly just dailt driven and played hard in.I see pdr lists just a s300 and a 62/14 s300 whats the difference.I just want to make sure i get the right turbo for my needs and future.

 

The "s300" (the cheaper one) is the baby S300. its 57/65 (compressor and turbine mm)

the S300 62/14 is the "62/65/14"

 

Seems I remember most of the guys running the 62/71/? say they can be a little laggy for a DD/Hauler, but that the 62/65/? spools much quicker and is fairly decent at towing. I'm planning to run a 62/65/12or14 when I upgrade. I think you'd wish you'd gone with the 62 over the 40. I wish I had.

 

Okay one hx40 on the way.Pdr say's for what my purpose of the truck is that's the way to go.
