Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) BD Twins?

[AMcKee]

Hello everyone, its been a while since Ive posted. I recently bought a 98 12v 4x4 auto shorty. It is currently bone stock. I was researching mods and I noticed that the BD twins kit comes with everything you need, including: turbos, piping, exhaust mani. , down pipe and air filter. I need all of these parts and the kit is very reasonable. My question is does anyone know anything about the turbos in the kit or how well they perform. Their website deosnt say anything about the nature of the turbos, only that they flow enough for 575rwhp. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The turbos were developed by John Todd of BD in cooperation with Borg Warner Turbo Systems who manufacture them (Schwitzer division) specially for BD. They work very well together and the system is trouble free, straightforward to install, no leaks or fitment problems to figure out. See TDR Issue 60, p. 94. BD has three Twin turbo setups, and I have used the two smaller setups. both of those use the Super B secondary turbo. the "smaller" or towing set uses a large S300 primary turbo, and the larger set (for over 600 HP) uses an S400 primary turbocharger. Both setups perform very well on the street and towing. The S400 won't fit in a second generation Ram but fits in a third Generation Turbo Diesel.
