So I tuned my afc about 6 months ago and i have it set as good as i can do with the current turbo as it can start to bump into the danger zone if im not watching it, but i am lost when it comes turbos, every one that i talk to give me a number that means nothing to me and their for cannot transfer that advice into my search cause tall the company's have their turbos by name not by a number.

Im not looking for a huge increase just looking to have some growing room to improve my towing and DD performance down the road.

I am looking at the BD super B, super B special, and killer B but again i dont really know what i am looking at and have been searching for info for the past 6 months with little to no results.

any one have these turbos or can offer any advice would be helpful thank you.

I have never had a BD so I can not speak for their product. Industrial Injection though is a whole other story. The favorite one I have had from II is what I run now, a 64/74/14 ss turbo. While I lost some power on the line, any kind of rolling start and it lights up. Specifically at about 1700 rpms the boost just keeps climbing. I have it wastegated at 40psi right now. To reference you question about which BD turbo, the closest one to those specification of my II would be the BD Super B. Hope this helps.

(This is all based on research, none of it from first hand experiance, so please take it with a grain of salt.)

Do you have plans to get bigger injectors?

My reading indicates that a Super B Single is a great turbo for mild builds if you dont mind spending the money. From my reading this is your best bet. Super B Special will be too big, you wont like it unless you get much bigger injectors.

Another great options that saves you money is to get the 351CW from a 3rd gen common rail. Used they are less than $400.

If you want the fastest spool and dont mind doing a bit of fab work then you can get a 351VE from a 4th gen. These turbos have veriable geomitry on the exhaust housing and used are dirt cheap. Same compressor as a 351CW, both are good up to 50 PSI or so of boost if you have the injectors.

I have 50 horse injectors any way but i hadn't planned on going bigger. at least until these go out or i have a solid air system or both.

I'll second the 351CW. With similar mods with a 160 pump, my EGTs stay under control unless I really run it out hard in 4th or 5th gear with nothing more than a light haze. This is a daily driver and I'm pretty easy on it 99% of the time.

They can be found cheap, and there are quite a few write ups on making a spring gate. I picked one up off Craigslist for $125 with the down pipe and intercooler pipe with boots and clamps.
