Turbo choice.

[Henrey]

Finished the auto to manual  swap , put RV 275 injectors in and a comp box , now it's turbo time. It's a daily driver that will pull a 5th wheel.  I have considered a he 351 cw and plumbing it on ,  Would appreciate any advice on a turbo choice . Thank you and have a great day.

Hx35.

Any recommendation on where to purchase , looked at eBay and seems to have a lot of  knockoffs.

Sorry should have asked  what year. With those  injectors and what ever is on your truck should be fine. Assuming it’s stock. J hook or boost elbow will be good for towing.

 Gauges? If you do a boost elbow you'll probably want to be able to keep an eye on the boost pressure. Good idea to have them anyway. I still need to get some gauges on mine as well before I do any mods.

Gauges are installed , trying to choose a place to purchase a turbo. Looking at the hx35.

Thank you..

Found a  holset hx35 on eBay , says blades are good just has play , I'll put a kit in it, the price made my decision for me , $125.00 + $20.00 shipping. 

[Mopar1973Man]

Rebuild kits are cheap. For RV275 injectors that HX35W will work fine.

Well I got the hx35 in today , took it apart. Needs a whole cartridge, turbine shaft pitted , rear bearing wore into the bearing housing. Looking for advice on a cartridge , where to get one and brand. I looked at a rotomaster but have not found any reviews, any advice appreciated.

Give DIesel auto power a call.
