is an 850cfm turbo big enough for me
Ok
I am turbo shopping and HTT recommends the 62/12 over the 14. II recommends the SPS 62/14 which is a bigger housing and a bigger drive wheel. ATS now has an Aurora 3000 which flows 1100cfm which they recommended for me over the 850cfm Aurora 2000. I know where I can get a pretty good deal on a used Aurora 2000. Is 850cfm enough for my truck. In addition to my sig below, I am adding a Quad XZT and a Glacier pump kit. When I tow my 31' TT on level 5, egts want to go crazy. Is the ATS 2000 gonna due the job for cooling?

I realize that is a good choice, but, if I can get the results I'm looking for spending less money, I will. The used 2000 I found is just slightly more than half the price of an sps62.
Aurora 2000 = 850cfm and very fast spool
Aurora 3000 = 1100cfm and similar spool to PS 62
ATS MTS = 1100cfm and very fast spool but $3,300!
HTT 62 = 900cfm and similar spool to PS 62
PS 62 = 1000cfm and a little slower spool than the Aurora 2000
SPS 62 = 1150cfm and the least spool of all turbos mentioned
They will all probably work. But, is 1100cfm $500 better than 850cfm?

I was not aware of the aroura 3000, I will have to look into it.
HTT turbos are slightly less expensive than II. that bein said I think they are quite a bit less that the sps turbos from II. The thing is if you get a 62/14 and it doesnt cool quite as "quick" as you want it to you could sent it back to HTT and have em put on a 12cm housing and that should fix the prob.
(Tim I hope you dont mind) I would send Timinva a pm and see if he may not be able to help ya.

I really like my Aurora 2000. It's a big turbine housing but doesn't act like it and doesn't need a wastegate because it's so big. I compared my Holset 14 and the 2k housings - the 2k is cavernous! I used drill bits for gauges and the 2k gas slots are much wider. I'm guessing the 2k is about 16 sqcm. I still have stock fueling and it was a nice driveability and power improvement. EGT only hits 1050. I think ATS says it's good to 550 hp. I've heard about the 3000. It sounds like it will be good for towing with more fuel than I plan to use. Like I said with my last CTD... I'm not going to break the clutch barrier - but I did anyway! Craig

First, a little clarification on an oops here. I was at my dad's house last night and forgot to log off his username (oldman06). So the post by him was actually by me (omaharam).

What are you comparing to though? Yes you like your set up, but unless you've tried an Aurora, you don't know how it will act.

The ATS website is not up to date. The only way to know about the 3000 is to call them. It is a fairly new turbo.
Schomer
Thanks for the input, but, unfortunately I do have a lot of extra fuel and it doesn't really compare to how you like it on a stock fueled truck.
Anyone use a 2000 on a bombed truck? There has to be someone.

My brother had the 2K on his 6.0. I know at the time with the 1/4 passes he was making he was over 550HP on fuel. It spooled crazy fast and made driving it alot easier then it was with the old stock turbo.
