I blew the motor up last weekend in my 05 4door longbed 3500. I had the smarty with the tnt upgrade on it when it happened. I melted piston 5 and pitted 4 and 6. The head is toast and so is the injectors and turbo. The cause of all this is a cracked injector. But if you ask the dumb mechanic at dodge they said I had to much dirt in my fuel filter. Alright enough about that. The question I have you guys is what turbo would you upgrade to. Im salvaging the block and replacing the head. I will be upgrading my injectors as well. Im just not sure what turbo to go with any help would nice
Thanks

Sorry for the misfortune. Been there, done that.

To properly respond to your question though, we need to know what your goals are and what you use the truck for. How much HP? Do you tow or not? If so how heavy?

Help us help you.

Well I'm looking for somewhere around 4-6 hundred horses. I do tow but not that often and the loads at most 8000lbs

I ran a htt 64/13/71 with 90hp injectors and made 588hp on stock cp3. I towed a bit and had no problems , but in the mountians I needed to keep the boost up while towing but other than that was a good set up for me, good luck on the build .

Just curios, do you have a rail gauge and if so what were you seeing?


You can easily get over 400 HP with a stock turbo which would help keep your costs down.
Sorry to hear of your misfortune, that sucks bigtime.

The perfect turbo would be, in my opinion, a Garrett Gt3788r stage three. But then everyone here knows I am partial to the Garretts. It would do all you ask, out spool anything else in its class, faster than stock even yet go up to 600hp. What more could you ask?

also look into turbonetics turbos they spool way fast and have a really cool sound.
