I am able to get a great deal on a HTT turbo. My question is weather or not a 64/71/13 ss is too big for my current mods? or should i go with a 64/65/13ss or possibly a 62/71/13ss. My truck is a daily driver. I don't tow, pull, or race. I'm basically looking for something that is going to be real quick on the street. I live in the country so most of the time i traveling between 45-65mph. Any help is appreciated...TIA

You should be good with the 64/71/13.

Get the 64/71/13ss and spend the extra $350-400 and get a good exhaust manifold.. The (BD branded but actually an ATS) manifold on mine made a HUGE difference in spool speed.. And cool off time when the motor is at idle (like waiting to shutdown)

I had the stock manifold for 2 weeks, then upgraded, and it was an immediately noticed difference in spool. I know its an extra bit of money but TOTALLY worth it in my book.

thanks for the info guys. i had originally considered a 62/71/13 but was afraid of running too hot whenever the standard tnt revo is released. would this be too small of a turbo? i'm basically looking for a 500-550hp daily driver. i would love to get an exhaust manifold but i don't think the old lady would understand the benefits as much as i would . i think for the time being i will limited to a turbo, then once she thinks that i've gotten my fix i'll hit her up for the exhaust manifold. On a side note: if i decide on twins down the road, would a 62/71/13 make a good secondary charger?

The 62 charger would do very well for you, even as a single. It will support what you want, and makes a perfect secondary in a set of twins. I am close to 500hp and can't push 1250*.

Same here, I'm running the Smarty on level 9 and pushing 45psi of boost and I'm lucky if I hit 1300.

We have a 62/71/13 on my wifes truck, also has an ATS Manifold so I can't tell you how it spools with stock exchaust manifold.. But it spools FAST. The other mods are a Smary running the release software, a Raptor 150 pump, and a Glacier Diesel Intake horn... Everything else is pretty much stock. Runs like a raped ape and my life loves it.. I think it spools as fast as stock.

Oh, we do have Gizzmo elecctronic boost controllers on both of our trucks so I have her wastegate set to go at 48psi.. Turn the duty cycle on the Gizzmo up to 100% and it'll hit 54 psi. I think 48 is safe.

well you guys have me leaning more towards the 62/71/13. The way i see it is that if i do decide to go bigger in the future then i can send the turbo to HTT and have them upgrade it for me, or go all out and get twins. I'm really getting the itch to buy something but i can't until the IRS sends out those rebate checks. I should buy a furnace with that money but i NEED a turbo!

HTT has a nice manifold too. Not that ATS doesn't. One reason to consider the HTT manifold is that it is a tiny bit thinner at the bolt holes which allow a little more clearance if you should ever do twins then it can help for mounting the twins. If you're going with just a big single then by all means go with the ATS or whatever you want. MPI suggested the HTT to me when I got my twins and it made the install easier, FYI.

The problem is that the 3rd gen HTT manifold hasn't been released yet. ATS and BD (same manifold) are about the only options for a single charged 3rd gen.

It's true though, the manifold really helps with spool up time.

There is one on my truck.

Are you a tester? Nobody seems to have them in the stores and its not even on HTT's site... I would've considered them because I was buying an HTT Turbo at the same time..

Oh well.. The ATS/BD Manifold worked out real good for me and know for a fact that the spool time is definitely decreased by having it on there. Its not just a "think it's better" it's obvious and totally noticeable!

i don't think the differences will be all that considerable between the ATS/BD and the HTT, but i could be wrong. more just personal opinion
