Towing Turbo?

I haul a slide in camper, & soon will be getting a jeep to tow behind. I'll gross @ 14K. With the mods I have, running My Jr. @ 100, & my XZT on the stacking program. What turbo?

My ATS A2k is great! ATS made the new A3k respond like the old A2k and they dropped the A2k. Neither one needs a wastegate cuz they have such big turbine housings so egt and drive pressure is low and nothing is wasted. Craig

No question, the best towing turbo is the Silver 62. Spools incredibly fast and keeps the EGTS in check even with Smarty beta 4.4 on 9 and towing.

Thanks for the input. I just wonder if I have the fuel to spool it as fast as others. I'm only running @ 425hp. & don't plan on going any higher.

You probably will like a 62/71 turbo, either HTT or II both are nices pieces. The Silver 62 is overkill for all except those wanting to try and wring a little more out of a 62mm turbo without jumping up to a 64. The larger exhaust turbine of the silver 62 means less turbo boost/cooling at cruising speeds.

Thanks. I think I'm going to get the HTT 62/71/14 SS. I hope it spools fast enough with my Goerend.
