do you think its a good turbo to knock egts down and decrease turbo lag?

J. R. Adkins makes a little turbo that is similar. Several people bought them in a group purchase. Search group buy turbo and pm a couple of guys that bought them.

Just a little clarification: It is the same to start with but not the same after they tweak it a bit.

I've had the Super B for about a year and love it. For my truck, it lowered egt's about 100 degrees. I don't know of anybody who has the HTBG, but another guy I work with also has the Super B and is very happy with his decision too.

Will I should not get started I am not good at this.

Jerry writes and I do the work.

I own REDDGE you can read about the BD supper B in TDR #47 in Life’s a Beach page 138. Those are real numbers. We got over 425 hp and 850 torque with different injectors With the Box set at 5 and 3.

I changed the turbo only in about 2 hours. It comes with all the stuff you need. As long you have a 4” exhaust.

I now have the twin B’s they run even cooler and a little more power but a lot more work to install.

With what I know now I would go with the single B. unless you are pulling really big stuff.

You didn’t say what you are driving.

If it is a stick you will need a good clutch I put in South Bend and have no problems.

If you have an auto be prepared to spend the $.

I hope this helps.

How much hp does a truck need to make to be able to spool a Super B sufficiently with minimal lag? What boost levels can a Super B attain? O-ring the head?

A stock truck spools a super B very well. In my opinion the Super B is a conservative turbo upgrade with no hp modifications needed. I have a Super B and it spools just as fast as my old stock HY. The Super B single is not for highly modified trucks over 500 hp.

I have a 93' VE pumped cummings and I installed the super "B" last month a man what a great turbo. I love the new sound, lower egts on the high end, and lag is not too bad but when she takes off she goes. I can build 45 lbs of boost. I am waiting on my 24 valve to get back from o-ringing to see how she runs. I have installed four of these turbos here in east texas and everybody loves them. You dont have to o-ring your head for this turbo. Numbers on my 93' was 325/873 with the HX35/12 and got 360/944 with just the super mod. It just pushes the cooler air faster.
