Although I just dropped 5K on the truck (new VP44, Fass 150, trans) I like to think about what's coming next, even if it'll be a while.

I've been told sticks and a turbo....so which ones.

All suggestions welcomed!!!


FYI: I use the truck for a Daily Driver mostly, but tow a couple of jeeps every now and then. I don't want high egt's but I dont want a laggy turbo either.
Please keep in mind I am new to this so abreviations are only gonna make my head hurt.....also any websites would be great!

Thanks!

 

Mach 4s from F1 diesel and 62/71/13 turbo would be a good towing combo. HTT or Industrial Injection sell the turbo.

 

WIll I need a new downpipe for the turbo? What else will I need to get to mount the turbo to the engine?

 

Turbo will bolt in, Its a farily straight foward in stall. you will need a HX-40 down pipe which comes with a packae with most turbos.

 

WIll this slow the truck down, being a towing app? WHat if I were to go the hot rod route? What would you suggest then?

 

wouldent go any bigger than a 64 for a daily driver

 

WHy is that?

 

cause of the lag

 

Bingo i know some people running big singles for a daily driver and there very laggy but when they light you better hold on

 

I love turbo threads, no explanation of why there is lag, no real technical advice. HTT only offers the 13cm stainless turbine housing which is cast by BP, but both offer a 14cm cast turbine housing.

 

He asked why and I told him what others have experenced

 

Hint, a 64/65mm will light faster than a 62/71mm...

 

True, but like I said I wouldent go bigger than a 64

 

A 66/68mm will spool better than a 64/71mm, the turbine wheel has much more of an effect on spool-up than the compressor wheel. I could be guessing though, I don't know much about turbos.

 

I'm goin to asume that is sarcasm, I agree the turbine wheel affects spool up more than the compressor wheel but a 62/65 will light faster than a 66/65
