I am going to buy one of the ATS plugs and try drilling and tapping it. I have already tapped the the bypass hole and put a set screw in it so I do not have to worry about bleed off.

 

With the ATS plug there is no chance of bleed off. All passages are blocked & sealed with o-rings. Drilling & taping the aluminum compressor cover is very easy & the boost elbow should be 1/8 npt... the same tap as most EGT probes.

 

I was going to drill and tap the ATS plug for aesthetic reasons. Would make it look more like a "factory" installation. Just me I guess.

 

Hmmm, by email they quoted me $65 for the plug and seals. Anyone elso purchase one and if so how much did you have to pay?

 

I just looked at my last invoice & the plug was $46.35 & the 3 o-rings were $5.70. Looks like the price is going up.

 

Does anyone the Cummins/Dodge part number is for the 04.5+ downpipe?

 

04.5 up 4" Downpipe: 52121600aa

04.5 up 4" Elbow: 5161570aa

4" Clamp: 52121285aa

 

Under-pressure I have an edge-ez is that going to be enough or do I need a smarty or something along that line to lower my egt's. I tow heavy thanks

 

A SMARTY Jr. would probally work well for you & have lower EGT's than the EZ.

 

so i have the edge jammer turbo would i get better egts and power from a he351? the edge is a 58mm non wastegated turbo.

 

What are the spec's on that turbo?

 

Just to g ive you guys some reference:

BD Super B Single: 57/65/14
BD Super B Special: 64/71/14

Most HE351s can be found for $200-$400, with very little miles on them

Most aftermarket turbos will cost $1300-$2000ish

The HE351 is a very nice upgrade, for those 03-04 owners on a tight budget, who want more performance with some mild mods.

This is a great thread, with alot of useful info!

 

Stupid ?:
Elbow vs downpipe.....which is what?

 

elbow is the cast piece that attaches to the turbo. Downpipe is the pipe attached to the elbow..

 

And when you go to twins(And you know you will) you'll have the top turbo
paid for.......
