hello everyone i'm looking to get an aftermarket direct bolt on turbo , heres what i got its a 2000 f350 AFE stage 2 intake, 4inch AFE turbo back exhaust no muffler, superchips 1705 micro tuner, boost fooler...my question is basically i'm looking around for the best direct bolt on turbo, being loud dont matter to me, i have seen the garret GTP38R, and the turbonetics BB, soo any input would help,also with the turbo i'm gettin the banks big WG....jw whats the best direct bolt on and the loudest whistle??

 

Best out there, Garrett BB. Hands down. Dont get the Banks crap though.

 

what kind of WG u recomend?

 

I think the Turbonetics BB turbo is discontinued. You could always find them though. I would go with Garrett also.

 

Use the one that comes on the garrett.

 

You probably won't drive the BB Garrett enough with your setup to even open its wastegate. You planning on custom tunes and new injectors?

 

With stock injectors, just bolt down the wastegate rod so tight that it doesn't open. That's what I did to mine. With stock sticks you can't push that turbo hard enough to need the wastegate. Of course, I have a Banks Big Head that I bought from JTHarvey a few years back, so I just kept it and swapped it to the 38R. But it's so tight the wastegate can't open. Call it overkill if you will.

The 38R is loud, hope you like whistle.

The TN BB is discontinued. So the 38R is the way to go.

 

im looking to aquire a 38r now that my PDR took a dump...but im going to go with the 1.15 housing I think. no wastegate

 

Don't you still have stock injectors? If so, stick with the 1.0.

 

i have hybrids to go in...if I get all the other supporting mods to go with it one of these days, should work ok with stock injectors though no?

 

Your hybrids will drive it with the 1.15 housing just fine. That's what Tenn is running right now. It will be laggy with stockers. Mine isn't too bad though (van turbo with 1.15 exh housing & ATS comp housing). I'm getting 30psi with stock sticks.

 

It'll work fine with the hybrids. Stock injectors will be a big laggy, then kick in hard. But it will be driveable until you get the bigger sticks in.

 

ya i plan on just getting stage 1 injectors and tony wildman 4pos chip but i fig until i get the money i could run the garret turbo just fine i was looking to purchase it fron extreme diesel and i also didnt know that it came with a wastegate on it

 

The 38R is supposed to be a fine drop-in improvement over the stock one. I cannot comment on that. I have a 1.15 housing, non EBV non wastegated unit with hybrids. It has some lag, but watch out when it lights.. This is becauase of my conservative PMR tuning at my request. I gotta keep it alive. So far so good.

 

Shop around and dont be afraid to ask if they have a better price. Most retailers list their products at a MAP (min advertised price) or above and sometimes they will give you discounts in their shopping cart on the product. I know I did it all the time.
