I can tell you that this 24v turbo is a killer upgrade for the cost. Bonus points is that it bolts right on.
My prior setup: 2nd gen swap 63/73 BW 300sxe T4 Installed by PO. It was poor at low end spool up but great on highway speeds and high RPM performance. Smoky while towing and tough to build boost at my 9k ft elevation.
I have been using HP Tuners for tuning and continue to do so. Creating my own tunes.
Current DPS setup: 2004.5 - S363/68 .70 Turbonator VGT (Ball Bearing) with new T3 manifold- maintained 2nd gen setup.
It fits well with no clearance issues. Fit and finish is pretty good. A pin in the main harness was not seated causing exhaust brake to not work. Reseated and all is good.
Now for the performance. AMAZING spool up! I can build 10 PSI cruising around town and no smoke! It will roast the tires if I choose to, but I do not choose to. Getting on the highway she builds boost up to 30 PSI almost instantly. I will get to 40 pretty easy, but at the cost of higher egt's. At 30 PSI I was at around 1200f, climbing a hill at 35+ it climbed to 1400f. I did all this pretty briefly after a long break in on the turbo. I'll play with some tuning and maybe back off some timing and fuel on the top end. I had added a lot on top for my old turbo setup. The exhaust brake works, at least I can hear it work, but I really wont be able to test that soon as I wont be hauling anything heavy for a bit. Without a load, it seems maybe not as strong as a newer truck with a stock VGT. I do have my transmission set to lockup which helps.
Sound....She is loud! This ball bearing turbo screams. Classic BB sound. Im old so I think I am going to need to add an air box to quiet it down some. If you like the sound of whooshing air and that turbo whistle, you will love this thing. It might be a bit much for long trips. So overall, this install was a big win for me. At this point the only issue is getting her to be a bit quieter which I know most people try to do the opposite.
This turbo improved the performance on my 3rd gen truck. This company has great customer service and I have been very happy with the product all around.
Looks solid good quality. Great price, fast shipping!
Best upgrade from my HE351 on my '05 5.9. Turbo spools great and more boost over the stock turbo. Should have bought a lot sooner.
I bought a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500, but didn't really look into all of the aftermarket parts. It ended up having a DPS Turbonator Turbo, DPS Extreme manifold, DPS Arctic Cooler, S&B intake, 5 inch exhaust, DPF delete and a Smarty Touch S2G. The programmer doesn't work right, but Smarty is sending the stuff out to fix it..The truck is a beast and will be even more so, whenever I get the programmer up and going again. I turned my boost up this morning; just did 2 rotations, and man did it really wake it up..It sounds freaking great.
These guys are the best went in and told them what I have and what my plans are to for my truck and they hooked me up with a turbo , exhaust manifold and turbo horn for my 3rd gen Cummins all I can say is wow
