The 12V has arrived

The 12V has arrived
As you can tell in my Sig. my new 12v is lightly bombed. I am first thinking of tackling the tranny with new input and torque. Then injectors some big ole 435HP injectors from my secret location hehe. then laser cut dv's and then a turbo heres the problem. I owned a 24v so I know about turbos and tranny stuff for 24V, but I need help with the new monster 12V so any help would be greatly appriciated on what you all would recommened. Thanks again Ben.

Time to update the signature
Transmission wise, I would highly reccomend a built tranny from Goerend brothers transmissions. http://gbtransmissions.com/
At the least, a valve body, billet apply lever, and a triple disc torque converter.
Dave offers a lifetime warranty on the triple disc converters, one of the best in the industry.
Turbo wise, what are you looking to do with the truck?
Either way, I'd highly reccomend a turbo from High Tech Turbo.
They offer a full line of turbos for a wide range of power levels.
To copy-paste from their site: http://www.htturbo.com
Keeping EGT's in check (1400 degrees at sea level), our customers most often report horsepower/torque in the following range for these models:
HTBG (+200 HP) - 350-425 HP 950 ft. lbs. torque
HTB2 (+275 HP) - 450-525 HP 1050 ft. lbs. torque
HTB2/64 (+325 HP) - 500-550 HP 1150 ft. lbs. torque (KILLER B-2)
HTB2/66 (+400 HP) - 550-625 HP 1225 ft. lbs. torque (SLED PULLER 66)
I personally installed a HTB2/64/14 on a 97 automatic truck with just Laser cut delivery valves WITHOUT a Governor Spring Kit and the turbo spooled VERY nicely, I was impressed.
I run a lot more fuel than that and it seemed to spool MUCH quicker than my Sled Puller 66, which is not bad in the first place.

Make plans to assassinate that Killer Dowel Pin soon ! Then I agree with Goerend for the tranny, might want to study the ScottyII intake and AeroTurbine mufflers. As far as fuelin' it up goes study fuel throttle plates, GSK governor spring kits for higher revs, bigger injectors and delivery valves and of course a bigger turbo to burn that fuel. Some good sites to study for sources are Piers diesel, TST, ATS, BD, Scheids HTT and of course the shop here at DTR ! Also BD's site has a lot of good manuals you can download in pdf.

glad to see you are happy with your 12 vlave.... i'g purchased most of my parts from www.puredieselpower.com and do not regret any purchase i've ever made there.... my list of BOMBS would be at lease 4" exh, 3k or 4k GSK, then gauges are a must as you know...... but i would recomend Pure Diesel Power to anyone and they sell Gorend trannys...
