I have a D66 from Beans diesel. It is a direct bolt on and it cleans up the exhaust quick. You can check out my videos and see there is no smoke when I am sled pulling. I like it a lot.
I ordered BD code injectors today. I may end up with a larger turbo if I have overfueling issues. We will see.

its not. got one on another truck. D66 spools faster. D66 and H2E are about the same flow characteristics. Modified H2E flows more air. 2 hour install for the D66 and a lot less money. H2E you have to change the pedestal and up-pipes, up-pipes are a PITA to change.
Tough decision, been there.

It is my understanding badluck is an early 99. He has posted on another forum as an early 99.
Badluck, I understand you can get about 400+hp out of a D66. Call Beans and ask. I owe them a call today so I will ask and post as well.

Just got off the phone with Bean, 400hp easy out of the D66.

If it were me, I'd do the injectors and chip first. Unless the turbo you have is bad and you need to replace it. Then I would go with the D66. I can see the H2E being a bit of a dog, and I think it might still be a bit on the large size with only 150cc injectors.

yea I know I would have to upgrade with the H2E but I can get the whole conversion kit and turbo at a pretty good price, or buy the conversion kit and say a TN turbo or Garrett BB i just dont know which to choose......... I think i want more than 400hp, my truck can take 500 before i need to start building the lowerend, maybe a solid 450hp would be good but whats gunna get me there
