    Whats stock? Someone want to get the definition of that for me?rotfl


    Seriously, you want about 450hp to effectively spool the BD twins. You might get by with less, but really 450 is pretty easy to hit with an Edge Juice or TST by itself. If thats all you have really you should look at the Super B single, which is also the top turbo in the twins kit. If you want more, you can upgrade to the twins later. I have had both and let me tell you, I would not have traded my single for anything (but the twins) on my 03. I pulled and raced and hot rodded the heck outta that thing and it just kept asking for more, kinda like these twins are.

    I can not answer that question, you would not want to run twins on a stock truck, there is not enough turbo drive pressure to effectively spin a set of twins. You would probably see an increase in EGT's on a stock motor running twins. The 5.9 Cummins needs to be 450-500HP before considering a set of BD twins.

    Yes I work here and am still saving for my twins, I could just have them take a little of my paycheck every month but that won't work either considering my fiance works here in payroll and sees my cheques :doah:

    Running the stocker right now, but I'm saving for a Super Phat Shaft 62. Nothing against BD, but when I contacted them, they said you didn't offer anything that would work with my turbo-mount Jake Brake. The SPS-62 is a bolt in and works with my J-Brake.

    Need to do something. With the "hot" juice on 5, my poor stocker will hit 42-43 lbs of boost :doah: !

    You are correct when you say we do not offer a turbo mounted brake for the after market turbos with 4" outlets. This does not mean anyone should settle for a lesser quality brake. We do offer inline remote mounted brakes that work just as great as the turbo mounted brakes, I actually prefer the remote mounted ones, it keep the clutter down under my hood.

    Actually, I already have the Jake Brake. Went on 2 weeks after I bought my truck 3 years ago. If I was to buy a BD turbo, I couldn't use my present J-Brake.

    I totally understand, I installed my turbo mount brake on my last truck about 6 months previous to us releasing the Super B Turbo. I ended up selling my turbo mount and putting a remote mount one on :mad:

    I think we are looking a developing the turbo mount style for the Super B and 4" turbos but realistically a good 6-12 months away before we will have all the models years ready.

    You should be able to find a home for your Jacobs and be able to install teh Inline BD for a decent price. Really, its the better way to go. Unfortunatly, most learn that after they go turbo mounted.

    BD builds a darned good brake.

    Stock for now. Before I can do a turbo I need to handle the power. Need to do a tranny, EFI live alone can kill it, expecially with my tune right now so EFI and a Turbo will surly destroy it. waytogo I felt descriminated against since it was a dodge question.

    Fill in your sig so I can recommend the right charger for you, do not go too BIG, you want efficiency not size!

    I run 450RWHP through a Super B Single with NO EGT's issues, NO surge issues and still very fast spool up! Don't sacrifice anything when you do not have to.
