All junkyard turbo information here please!!

I went the DIY route, I love it, but you tend to run into a lot of problems just putting it together. there was a few times where I stopped and thought how can I make this work.

Numbers in my sig are untuned. I'm upgrading the turbo, so the numbers MAY jump just a tad more ;)

Um, it added up, I don't think I want to know what it came to. You can find a similar turbo pretty cheap if you know what to look for. It's pretty much the same thing as a T04E. Use ebay or your junkyards, many big trucks use T4's. The turbines are usually huge like 1.09 A/R etc.. but you can get one off ebay for like 60 bucks.

Um I do have TwEECer, but I didn't really tune it too well, and I was using a draw thru meter, plus my clutch decided it had enough so I think my numbers are pretty much anidea of what it's making. My clutch just didn't want to hear the torque.
 
Those are for twins. The thread name is for single/twin turbo but then it only list small onse for use with twins. Oh by the way, sorry for the remark on you 13 second time MILLHOUSE. Way outa line and you still decided to help me this info thanks....
 
Check out pages 3 & 4 on the link posted above. There are several references to single turbo's that could be used. Do a search for "powerstroke or " "Cummins" and you'll find quite a bit of info. All the info is over there, you just have to look for it.

Also…your lucky I don’t get pissy like many others on here. You just gotta be careful…as flame wars are quite easy to get into. You also don't want to loose your credibility...People will be much less likely to help out.
 
A simple thank you apology accepted woulda done.. but hey wut would you recomend? single or twins. Im planning a trip to about 3 yards today. Imma be posting a new thread on it as Im stoked about starting this up. I have a list from summit of parts I have gathered that I would need. See if you can fill me in on anything I have left out... thanks
