Performance Upgrades
Go with the Iquad or IquadBT so you can get the benefit of custom tuning. Save injectors for a little later if you plan on changing turbos. or detune the adrenaline and go with 150HP injectors or bigger so you dont have to purchase injectors twice if you decide you want more power.

Testing Injector Pop Pressure in the real world
typically 300-310BAR. We do raise the pressure slightly when they get bigger. 300HP we set for 315.

Performance Upgrades
HX35 can have either option below 5 bolt hx35 https://www.dieselautopower.com/s200gx-e-dodge-ram-upgrade-turbo-12769880001 picture #2 hy35 is same as this https://www.dieselautopower.com/borg-warner-k27-turbocharger-53279880001 about 3.1" vband We do have some adapter flanges. HX40 is 4.0" vband https://www.dieselautopower.com/1994-2002-dodge-5-9l-cummins-aluminized-turbo-direct-hx40-pipe-4-with-v-band-clamp

Performance Upgrades
If you are looking for a super quick spooling turbo rated for about 400HP and stock fitment this is the turbo I would go with. https://www.dieselautopower.com/s200gx-e-dodge-ram-upgrade-turbo-12769880001 68lbs/minute and a more responsive wurbine wheel than the 57mmSXE style s300 which would be my recommendation if you wanted a little more power on top end and something rated for 500HP. K27 is also an option, but even though it has a 60mm compressor wheel it does not flow as much (only slightly more than the hx35) and requires modifications for fitment (unless you are looking for an upgraded hy35 replacement).

Thank you for sharing the Dodge FSM specs.

Testing Injector Pop Pressure in the real world
That is a wider range than the Bosch ESI[Tronic] specs for the stock injectors. Operating envelope given by dodge is broader than Bosch has for parts spec.

Testing Injector Pop Pressure in the real world
300-314BAR is Bosch spec for the injectors on a VP44 Dodge. 315BAR is not going to be much change.

Well the Order is in
Glad the new truck is in your possession. I love the color!

That head comes with stock springs. Head studs are a given for reliability at 500HP and above. Springs and pushrods would be nice, depending on how much more HP and RPM you will require. We can get a performance head, but its more than what you need. Many people pull the head bolts out one at a time and replace with a stud to keep the factory seal in place on the head gasket. This way you can avoid removing the head.

The Screaming eagle turbo is equal to what people would have paid almost $2000 for 3 years ago. Borg warner now offers a performance SXE turbo that is mass produced and most turbo companies are building of the SXE as its core... then marking things up a lot to come to a $1700 price anyways... VP trucks should use the 68mm turbine wheel unless you are trying to get above 550HP. 62mm compressor wheel on the SXE flows like the 63mm on the older box borg units. They are very efficient. a 62/68/12 will support 500-550HP nicely and spool pretty fast. at 500HP you may also consider upgraded pushrods and valvesprings

Bigger Injectors
I would do at least 150HP injectors... should get you to 500-550HP so you will able to play with extra tuning from the Adrenaline to get to 450-500HP

Well the Order is in
Sorry to hear Nick! Definitely a punch to the gut! I know of a white 2000 cummins 2500 truck floating around with makings for a new interior (all ordered, yet to install) if you cant wait and want to go a step backwards....

Bigger Injectors
If you tow a lot or live at high elevation with 3.55 gears and 35" tires compounds will be great. You can do a s475 (with 83mm turbine, or 96mm turbine and 1.15AR housing) and support 550HP with your stock turbo, or go cheaper and do the s464 and support 450-500HP and spool faster. For injectors you will typically stretch your dollar further by selling your performance set and getting a new set from us. Selling used nozzles is a low value proposition, and the value of having them already set up is lost. Good price for a used set of 75HP injectors is $250 or so.

Injector Flap on Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum!
Thank you. We have taken care to update descriptions so hopefully no one can misunderstand what they are purchasing. There needs to be more transparency. We buy parts cheaper than those suppliers in our territory will supply and pass that savings to our customers. There were multiple issues to discuss. Some specific to DAP and others a referendum on the industry as a whole. Unfortunately a civil discussion was made difficult by certain members and vendors and conflation and confusion of multiple issues made discussion difficult. We have been in business for 10 years. Check out the site for our anniversary sale (including no core on 99% of 5.9L and 6.7L common rail injectors. We are adding more to it daily. We want to give back to our customers. We are grateful for your support!

Bosch VP44 injection pump removal the fast way!
Correct, Speaking to the Service Manager he said that the warranty rate for 2 year pumps was 1.5% and the 1 year pump was about 3%. Midwest has been great to work with!

Choosing the right turbo
Looks like they sent the fitting common for most 12v. 24v will need a different fitting as you found out. We include both fittings with our kits as it is a pin to find the right one when your truck is already torn apart. Part you should need is FS-2404-06-04 Available at most hydraulic shops. We stock a couple hundred Hope you receive this information early enough to get parts today!

Choosing the right turbo
Way more air than a 174430 old style super B. It also has a smaller turbine wheel (61). The new style super B or the SXE 57mm s300 I linked to earlier is good to 450-500HP.

+50 Injectors
That could be a possibility, Cruising temps with +50HP or + 200HP should not be much different.

Here is the link to the s200GX-E That is direct replacement https://www.dieselautopower.com/s200gx-e-dodge-ram-upgrade-turbo-12769880001 68lbs/minute. Will post up some maps and more detail shortly.

Choosing the right turbo
This is a newer offering from Borg Warner. https://www.dieselautopower.com/dap-screaming-eagle-sxe-fmw-2nd-gen-fit-57-65-14-t3-gated-hx40 One improved feature on the SXE S357 13749880014 is the compressor wheel: 57.1mm inducer and a smaller 76.2mm exducer so it has less rotating mass and can spool faster. The SXE S357 is a big upgrade from the 174430 with 57.1mm inducer and 83.4mm exducer compressor wheel that flows less at 61lbs/minute. There is also a 57.1mm/ with 61mm turbine that we sell that will support about 400HP (turbine limited) that will work with factory 5 bolt flange so those with an exhaust brake can finally upgrade to a better turbo than a hx35/40 hybrid.

Also check against a known good EGT gauge and probe.

S475 vs s472 Compounds
s475 and 1.15 would be much more responsive than a 1.32AR. If you truly do not plan on going past 500HP the s464 with 83 turbine and 1.10T6 housing will be cheaper and spool faster.
-
+50 Injectors
1600* is pretty high for 50HP injectors. Have you verified your EGT gauge and probe are accurate? If its grounding out or failing from some other cause it can change EGT readings significantly.

Testing Injector Pop Pressure in the real world
It was a fun experiment. I am glad we could help. Its not harder to build a set to higher or lower pop off pressure if requested. We plan to continue the slight raise in pressure as injectors get larger.... 305BAR for Stock to about 315BAR on the bigger sets. If someone wants a different pressure we can put it in the build notes.
