stock turbo-quick spool
I need the best combination of parts to get a stock 2000 turbo to spool as fast as it can. Is the WW a good option? I'm waste gating this turbo to somewhere around 22-25 PSI. Will the stock wheel work fine for that? I just need quick boost. Either way the waste gate will be set below the surge point. And as far as I know the stock turbine housing is the fastest correct?

If you want a surge free turbo that can handle more boost, get a drop in TN unit with the .84 housing. That one spools even better than the stocker, and you don't have to worry about surge. Just a thought. And for compounds, that would be a bad @$$ quick spool turbo to have.

Compound turbos. Basically a smaller turbo and a larger turbo in series.
The benefit is that you can run a very large turbo that's found on the 500+ hp trucks, but with the smaller turbo, have boost down low to make the truck streetable.
The drawback is that it's expensive and requires some custom fab work. Also it's a tight fit, so some folks have ditched the A/C to make room for the 2nd turbo.

UHHH, I live in Phoenix AZ. It hits about 120 degrees abot 150 days of the year here. I will keep the A/C and keep the Turbonetics.
It really is a great set-up though going with a compound.

Here's a link to Long Island Performance for their price.
https://www.shop.lidiesel.com/displa...categoryId=153
The TNs are typically a few hundred dollars cheaper than the BB turbos. They are very similar in peformance and flow. The TN's do come with a one year/no questions asked warranty. Quite a few people run them and swear by them.
The TN's come with a 1.0 wastegated turbine housing. However the .84 wastegated housing is new and only a few people are running it. It seems that it can handle 30 lbs of boost without a problem on the .84 housing. I know it can handle more, but I'm not sure how much further than that you can go, but it's an improvement over the stocker for sure.

I like the Turbonetics units. From what I've heard, they work quite well. Brian, at Black Widow Diesel has sold quite a few of these, and his customer service is excellent. Heck, we spent a good hour on the phone last week just shooting the ****. Very down to earth guy who just wants to take care of his customers. He reminds me of another very well liked Brian (BTS).
If you want compounds, give it a little time. A few people are working on a system that will allow you to keep all your stock stuff like A/C. I think they will be priced pretty reasonably too, considering it's two turbos.

I already got a setup that will keep my stock components like AC. It requires a little more work but it will be a totally streetable truck. I just need to rebuild my stocker. . . soup up my H2 and we'll be good. Once its all done if I am happy with the performance. . . I'll upgrade the stocker to the Turbonetics.

The quickest and easiest way for quick spool is fuel. More fuel=quicker spool, higher boost #'s. I believe if you talk to Jody about it, he can reburn some of his programs with more fuel down low for fast spool up
