[QUOTE="Junior00, post: 16559085, member: 30475"] If we were talking a couple years ago I would say give him a try. I have personally seen two fail from him. One could possibly be attributed to overspeeding, but the other was just straight up lack of attention when it was put together. I believe there are better options, for cheaper. May I ask the shop? There is no way I would consider upping the boost with a new turbo without studding and if you’ve never had any problems with coolant loss, over heating, etc. (i.e. the head/gasket is still as it left Cummins) there is no reason studs can’t be installed with the one by one method. The block/head mating surfaces will never be as true as when they left Cummins unless you pull the engine deck the block along with the head. The ARP 2000’s are cheap insurance. With a good flowing manifold, a horn if doesn’t have one already on, and the right turbo he should see drive pressures decrease significantly while spool should still be very quick and overall boost pressures be down as well as egt’s. If I were wanting more power but still wanting to tow and be reliable, I would go with an S400 honestly. The newest SXE line is very affordable, yet tough enough to fit a daily driver/dedicated tow vehicle. Billet wheels, 360 thrust bearings, there really is no reason to pay $2k+ when these are 98% there for $1k or slightly less from the factory before add-ons. That said, I didn’t see it mentioned but is he wanting to go 2nd gen style when he swaps manifolds? I personally run an AFE bladerunner but Steed Speed, BD, etc are all good candidates in the 3rd gen style. I see much lower egt’s while towing and playing around, and while there are benefits to a 2nd gen swap, I don’t believe the cost to be worth it unless you’re going all out. With new CAD designed manifolds, they don’t leave a lot on the table. Be sure to use manifold studs, they are well worth it. I could go on all day, in the end it is all in how he plans to use it that should dictate his choices. [/QUOTE]
