Message: [QUOTE="Big Bore, post: 359469, member: 760"] After looking and looking and deliberating, I just can't get myself to like the way that Duramax turbo sits on the engine and the goofy way the exhaust and intake would run and all the work required for it, and I kept thinking about the 6.0 turbo, so I started looking at how it's configured and IMO it's way better and less work. Sits a lot like a H2e or S series and according to some of my reading it's clockable. Elites Powermax HO and the TEC Black Lightning flow way more than a 38r and seems perfect for the job although expensive, theres also some much less expensive modded Garrets with batmowheel that flow pretty good. I think I'm going to direct my attention at this instead of the Duramax turbo. I also like the fact it is a Ford configuration, not a Chevy, which was giving me fits in the first place.
