PODS =65hp/120tq to stock 5.9 ctd???
Hi on a current post called injectors Bushy states that the pods are a reliably 65+/- hp gain , then Wannnadiesel adds the tq gain is at 120lbs +/- . so that gives a stock 93 225 hp and 520 tq
love that tq ok the ? do you need other mods will they produce more with say turbomods i really want more hp/tq [230 to 260hp 550 to 650lbs tq] with out stressing or messing with pump unless the pods suck down the fuel you got to climb the hills to get to the fish
will higher boost produce more horse or help your in house ponies do it with less fuel

To get more horespower you need more fuel. POD's will give you a lot more fuel.
But without any more air you're not going to be able to burn all of the fuel that the POD's are pouring into your cylinders, so you'll be smoking like crazy.
You also get higher EGT's as you add fuel, so you just might melt a piston or too...
I think that a HTT tubine modification setup will give you enough air to fully utilize the POD's...

If you can resist the temptation to mess with the pump, the POD's will do fine with the stock turbo compressor. Just add a 16 cm turbine housing and you will be fine.
Mess with the pump enough and nothing short of twins will keep things cool.
More fuel produces more boost. Boost does not give you HP, it lets you burn more fuel without melting your pistons. More fuel gives you more HP. The 16 cm housing will give you another 3 psi over your stock 18.5 cm with any given amount of fuel. That will be enough to keep the EGT under control IF you leave the pump alone.

Hey Begle 1 thanks for the link to htt great site lots of info and a 16 cm housing is cheap at $150 Ok Wannadiesel another hp/tq guess for you 16 cm housing and pods and we are good to go........ the htt site states that their housing alone will incease horses .....so maybe the 16 cm housing and pods will give better than 65/120.????................................ps we are fabbing the old smoky mount this weekend with ram air induction , the exhaust is strait piped, the new housing will be ordered with pryo tap and we are shopping for low stall tq its all about the tq and miles per gallon for this ctd

The 16 cm housing will only increase top end power on the 2nd gens. The 12 cm housing is a restriction at high RPM on a modified 2nd gen so the 16 cm helps with that. All you will notice with the 16 cm is less turbo lag. The truck will feel peppier but it won't make any more power.

Hi Wanna, tks for replys by less lag and peppier does that translate to better fuel ecomony and if that statement be so would JUST A 16 housing on stock injs and pump improve pulling power @ 2000 rpms[2nd& 3rd gear hard pulls] and allso allow you to get a load up to speed faster with less fuel , also at cruising speed [55- 60 mph] would it hold its speed longer on slight hills[1750 rpms] because of the extra boost....... this is all while loaded with 3000 lb camper thus the ? on tq and fuel ecomony tks

No, all the 16 cm housing is going to do for you is make the truck respond quicker when you step on the gas pedal. Adding air does not make more power, more fuel makes more power.
If fuel economy is a concern, POD's are NOT the injectors for you. Get 190's instead.

The 190's will not hurt fuel mileage assuming you don't change your driving style and your AFC settings are reasonable. POD's don't hurt the highway mileage, but you will lose at least 2 mpg around town even driving like grandma. That 2 mpg becomes a haze of diesel fumes that follows you around. On the plus side, nobody tailgates you anymore.

I put PODs in mine and lost 3 MPGs all around including hiway milage.
I love the power but wish I had the fuel milage back. I would like to try EDMs but they are very expensive.

I run the 190's and I think they're great!
Granted, I also run the PDR hybrid 35. But, even with that I had to back off the fuel screw from where I had set it running all stock hardware (to keep EGT's below 1250*F in an extended full throttle). While I still have the low boost enrichment set a little too rich, it doesn't smoke too much (off idle). It WILL smoke big-time when coming off the line at full throttle from an idle. (Oops!
) But then the boost comes in and cleans it all up nicely. 
I'll get around to tuning out the smoke one of these days.
