More power with a direct replacement turbo?

Does anyone make a direct replacement turbo that will give me fast spool, lower EGT's and a little (or lot) more power?

Look at my mods below... thats pretty much all I want to do...

Maybe a GSK or injectors...

Simple stuff...

Will the turbo make any difference?

You'll also need to add some fuel to the equation to get more power...

No, the HX-35 you have will spool as fast as anything else you could get, and you would need more fuel than just a set of injectors and GSK would give you to see major gains from a turbo. And I would reccomend a plate before injectors. Maybe even DVs (that is my plan at least) Are your EGTs a problem? A timing bump to 16-16.5* would drop EGTs, and give you a nice power increase...

How much power do you think you make now?

HP/TQ?

Does the truck run reliable?

I am guessing I am pushing close to 300/700... I have the plate about centered in the pump, trying to not kill my clutch. Yet.

And the truck is completely reliable. Plenty of power, no problems. Way better than stock.

A Garrett ball bearing turbo would be up your alley. Much quicker spoolup.

lookin at your sig, you have NO fuel upgrades yet...

loosen the afc spring, should give ya better spool up... or move the afc forward, and the plate.... your missing something! .... fuel!!!

after you have fuel... you'll need air!!!
