Lost Turbo, mod time.need opinions

Well, it happened, Time to replace turbo... ... and some other things. what do you think about this recipe. Super B turbo. Silverline 4" exhaust, #10 BD plate, ATS manifolds intake and exhaust, AFE intake stage 1, 3K GSK, timing to 16*... . , with that said. What should I expect from a performance stand point, what should I expect from a fuel mileage stand point, without my foot out of it of coarse :-laf . Any recommendations, what do yall think.

if you drive at or around 600* and as little boost posible ( 65-70 mph) you could get 23 mpg I used to with this new charger I don't know what i get now.

Don't waste your money on the intake horn. Get the exhaust manifold, though. The 10 plate is a really nice one. Don't have the 3k GSK yet. Bumping the timing to 16* was a great improvement to my truck. Dropped EGTs quite a bit as well. Since you already have 4" exhaust, you won't gain anything, but maybe just some looks.



Mileage? Keep your foot out of it.

I just got city diesel's 3KGSK in, it's very nice. The throttle is a bit too touchy, but backing it off a click should solve that I'm sure. I set them to . 065'', one click back should give me around . 050 I think.

I like the 0 plate, full fuel is nice... . although full fuel on a 175 vs a 215 pump are 2 different things!



Don't waste your time on a super B turbo, no one uses them LOL. Get an HTB2 or phat shaft 62. An HTBG would probably keep you cool and spool fast, but then again you don't want to short change yourself if you're looking for more upgrades in the future. It's always better to slightly overturbo it (no extremes here) than to want more later and have to pay out alot more $ when you could have just done it right the first time.
