BD 7.3 Turbo

How does this turbo react to Stage 2 Hybrids on a late 99? My stocker is goin to let loose soon so Im very interested in this. Thanks

I assume your referring to the Turbo Thruster Kit for the 7.3L? The turbo really lives up to its hype, the spool up time is amazing for a non ball bearing turbo, equal to the GTP38 but half the price and comes with the BD adjustable wastegate.

Where are yoiu located?

There are too many variable to say for sure but it will typically reduce your temperatures by 15-20%. The efficiency of the turbo will improve, which will also help out with fuel economy and some extra ponies.

I bought it, I run it, I like it.

Nice post!

Right to the point

What does the 1.15 or 1.00 non wastegated housing do as far as drive pressure? Ive read this turbo has a 27/32 boost ratio with the wastegated 0.84 housing. Which is much better than factory and if upgraded to the 1.00 should retain quick spool and better egt control for say 160cc with modified nozzle injectors? Also thanks for makin a buget buildup possible to keep up with the high dollar boys

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I am trying to find some compressor maps or data that will help me answer your question on drive pressure with the larger housing. My opinion is that the drive pressure ratio would not change all that much, naturally you would trade off some response time for cooling but I will see what I can dig up as far a real numbers for you.

You are welcome by the way, just wish we could keep them in stock
