Great, how is your assumptions helping the situation that you were never a part of? They're not, so like I said I think you should mind your own business and STFU cause this dosn't concern you one bit. you weren't on the phone with bean and I and you have no idea what has been said through PM's so until you do.........mind your own business. Thanks
I didn not tell Luke your address or anythin else, Luke asked what Steve Scott bought andI told him nothing because I do not have a Steve Scott in my system. I asked in that other thread who you bought your stuff from becasue of the wierd name deal and you called me and gave me the name that was supposed to be on the invoice and what you bought. The name you told me was also not in there but I matched what you purchased to a name in WA and that was Stephan Carter, if thats not you then just say so, all I said was looks like I found the Inv this is the name and what this guy bought.
Luke did all of his own digging I did not give him your information, what I said on the phone was true, I had no beef with you only was curious what was going on then you freak out and start accusing me of realeasing privte information which seriously offends me because I did no such thing nor have I ever done.
IMO if your name and what you bought is Private Information then its is only beacuse you have something to hide, what would that be?
So ours factory are 1.15 and you can get a turbonetics at any size youwant. Why are the OBS stuck with 1.15 or 1.0 or .88 or whatever that smaller size is. Also if turbonetics is great why do they not make one for the OBS? Don't get me wrong I like the d66 it has more flow same size, 1.15, for cooler EGT's etc but the thrust is the weaker point. end it offs. And a cheaper cost as well. I guess what I am asking is that if I went thru the troube to go SD uppies/pedestal etc. where should I go from there?
No offense but I , as well as many others here, are getting tired of the battle. Sorry but that isn't what I signed on for. I respect you both, Luke and Steve. But seriously end it offsite and post back the results. I remember another member had torque disputes earlier this year and they ended them like adults and not trashing one another. Please follow suit so we can continue the respect for you guys. Grant it you both are better at this than I am so please set a good example for the newer ones.
There I got it off my chest. It has been killin' me not to get in the middle but you know how I am I always end up there. No disrespect intended for any party involved.
Just stick with the 2" intakes, to go 3's you will have to do a bunch of mods and the payoff isnt really worth it IMO.
What kind of mods? SD uppies/pedestal, turbo and spider/"Y" pipe? Please inform me. Thanx for the reply. Just looking for guidance in the right direction. I am looking long term. I thought Big intake manifolds with SD spider??? just a thought. And if it opened up my turbo possisbilities more better.

Well you better check with Luke then cause he was very clear that he got my info from you over the phone. We no longer have anything to discuss Bean. You cant keep your stories straight wether it be on the phone or on the net. Like I said you did it so why it offends you I dont understand, maybe you feel guilty about it. But you dont need my business or my support rememeber.
BTW Bean, I was the first to send Neal your way, as well as many others. take that for what its worth
The USA Turbo as I call it (TN drop in) is only availible with 1.0 and .84. IMO that turbo is a POS but thats IMO. A Garrett BB is a much better choice for durabilty and airflow, some run into surge issues with it but with the larger airflow that will happen in soem cases. The Dodge guys have major surge issues when they get into the larger turbos like a 66mm charger.
IMO if you are going to change all of the uppipes and pedistal and all that jazz get a real turbo like a H2 kit and then maby get it upgraded later on. The standard H2 wont flow as much as a BB but is durable, get it modded to a 66 and it will out do a bb quite well.
When you say BB I assume you mean the d66 model? (forgive my ignorance on this). So in general Your recommendations are get a H2E, for durability, and keep the factory intake manifolds at 2". Then in the future mod the H2E for big power? I am looking at getting a set of banks i-cooler pipes with the dual ram design. So I should get it with 2" and stick with factory manifolds?
What mods are needed for the H2E install?
Not sure what the TN dropin or USA turbo is but I am not looking at spooling faster if it means higher EGT's and that is what it sounds like that will do.
TN drop in is a Turbonetics turbo that fits the 99-03 7.3's, also known as a HTT, Ballbuster turbo and a few others. It says USA on the backside of the compressor housing and all of the companies sell it under thier name, so I just call it the USA turbo.
By BB I mean Garret GTP38 Ball Bearing turbo for the 99-03's.
You can get the H2 kit and it will come with everything you need to bolt it in. Spool up will be a bit slower but egts will be real low as well. You wont need to upgrade it unless you get soem fairly large injs like Stage 3's.
So you recommend the H2e without modding it even if I get stage II's. Spool will be slower but EGT's will be lower. I pull alot so that sounds like what I want.
How much if any performance will I expect to see with the H2E over stock?
I know I will get reliability, Right?
What does modding the H2e do for performance and what gets modded (if you can tell me)? I guess I am asking what is the benefit of modding it?
Thanx for your help I am just looking for guidance now so when I do these mods I don't have to change something I did wrong at this stage.
Steve.....I think there's been a fairly large misunderstanding that's come to a head in this thread. I can tell you with 100% certainty that BDP did not give out any personal information on you or anyone else. I can clearly see that you and Ryan have issues, but the only thing he put out there was a name, and by his own admission he didn't know if it was you or not.
I will be happy to discuss it further with you via PM if you like, but please believe me, when Bean said he did not give out your personal information....he did not.
To mod the H2E he just ports the compressor housing. If I was you, I would go with the D66, its half the price and it is built to handle the un-equal drive pressures that're known to eat the stock turbo's up. Plus the D66 flows more air then the H2E does. The moded H2e flows I think 250cfm more then the D66 does but you can get the D66 for half the cost and half the work of a H2E
