Lightbulb Hhr/ss Turbo?

Ok who's gotten as far as the turbo setup im ready to yank mine off already and go with bigger what type is it and whats the characteristics? I'm hoping 1st that the H/P tuning software will really open it up more...We'll see come the 11th of March when I get home..Post up and I will as well when i retune it...Dyno probably before hand to see where it sits and after of course....

I hear ya on the need for more power, I traded in a 550hp 1100lbft tq 06 cummins ram for this but right now i just hoping for an intake & a tune but if they make more I'm all about it!

the turbo isn't the problem it is actually the intercooler that is limitting the power.

Why do you say that the intercooler is the problem for?

The turbo isn't being used to its full potential because the intercooler is small. A larger intercooler and upping the boost with the stock turbo is what would work the best

correct i understand and concer but until there is a program that will allow for that it wont work either way....H/P Tuners is orking on all of that....But until there is a complete program for it, Theres no need for anything else? Would you not agree??? My question is what turbo is on there and the Characteristics of it.. IE...T3/T4? a/r ?????????????? ETC....

I don't know the exact turbo specs but it is a twin scroll and until HP Tuners breaks the code changing the Turbo won't help it will just go into limp mode or you will have lag issues since this turbo is small and designed to spool up quicker than bigger turbos.
