I am very curious to see how it does on Todd's application. I would think it will be a great cross sectional view of its characteristics.
I am not sold he will need more fuel. I guess I'm too optimistic given I feel like we dont know enough yet

My brother has been running a s369sxe with 180cc injectors for quite some time. I’ve pulled a trailer with it a few times and in my opinion it spoils quite well. I currently plan to run same turbo with 250/100 in the near future unless I change my mind or someone makes better suggestion. Which I am open to.

I can't help you except to say that when I blew up my motor and the chuck of metal from the piston went thru my s366 I replaced it with the s366sxe turbo. It will spool up twice as fast, I'm very happy with it. With your injectors I would not know but my gut tells me that the 369sxe would do fine but what do I know? Good luck with your decision.

MJ, I can’t speak to the turbo decision, would be interested to see whatever you end up going with. But I must say, if you go with the Carson Stauffer T4 kit I would be interested in getting your impressions. Looks like it is very popular on the Super Duty forum, whereas here I think I’ve only seen folks use the Irate kit, or build their own, for our OBS trucks. I’ve looked a bit at CSD’s T4 kit and like they way they use both factory supply and return lines routed through their pedestal for the turbo. I think they do a couple other things different also, such as an aluminum intake pipe going into the plenums. Would be interested in seeing a CSD T4 on OBS story. Good luck with the rest of your project.

I just saw a dyno sheet from one of my FB friends that runs an S369 with 250/200s through a ZF5. 533hp/908tq and he says it pulls a trailer really well. So I'd say give it a shot.

Thank you for the heads up on that. Nice to hear that it tows pretty good. Anything on the Carson vs Irate kit? I don't have the time nor enough tools to build a kit myself.

On edit. My OBS has custom aluminum intercooler piping, so I have no insight on how well Carson's IC piping may fit, but I would bet they fit alright.

I have an Irate kit on my Super Duty and a Carson Stauffer kit on my OBS. I don't have anything against either kit honestly. They're both nice, well built kits and I wouldn't hesitate to use either one for an S300 frame turbo. For an S400 frame, I prefer Carson's. I have enough clearance with high rise plenums to clear the S400 compressor cover easily. Irate seems to need flat plenums to clear an S400 compressor cover.
