Anybody running the Aurora 3000?
I have been checking into this turbo a bit...as compared to stock, it spools quicker than stock, claims great mid and decent high end torque, but what about the low end? If it is spooling quicker than the stocker and is made for towing, the low end must be pretty decent too, no? The reason that I am asking is because after all of the mods that I have planned in the future for my truck, this turbo is sounding like it will support my needs and HP wants better than the A2k...any feedback will be great. Thanks

I do like. However, IT DOES NOT SPOOL FASTER THAN STOCK! I wish I had lots of money and could put a SPS62 on there and compare and then I'd know I had the best choice. I bought my 3k used is why I went that route. It does make more power sooner than stock. In other words, from a dead stop to accross an intersection, the stock leaves a little harder - I was running the stocker up to 45-46psi. It would spin the 315s in first (no power breaking) and 2nd gear scratch. I went to the 3k and it no longer spins from a dead stop without power breaking. However, by the time you're 2/3 through 1st gear it is making more power and the 2nd gear scratch is at least twice as long as it was with the stocker. It also pull MUCH harder on the top end. I am getting about 40psi out of it in 1st through 3rd and then 4th hits and it spikes to 45 and then drops back off. I also did the ATS manifold at the same time as the 3k. I have not pulled with it yet, but think I will like it. I will be on the dyno on Sunday, and will be posting numbers Sunday night or Monday.

Wow, you all don't mess around do ya'll? Thought this was a bit harsh...I didn't know that the VP44s were that inferior to the Glaciers...but now I do I reckon. I have owned several diesels, not all of them being trucks, but this will definitely be the first to receive BOMBs in the future...so anywhere I am lacking, I am personally holding you all with experience responsible to help me put the hp and tq to the ground...thanks for these replies ya'll...real eye openers!
