I don't know much about all these different turbos out there and what they do. I was just told by my mechanic that my turbo bearing is crapping out. I wanted to go with a bigger turbo but don't know which would be the best for me.
I have a 06 with EGR delete, cold air intake, 4" straight pipe, and stock injectors. I don't have a tuner but plan on getting a innovative tune. I don't pull nothing but my 21' boat.
Should i go with a pmax stage 1 or 2, or is there a better turbo out there? :dunno:
I would like more MPGs and power of course. Please give me your input on what you know is a better turbo
Thanks

Powermax without tuning isn't the best choice but is a brand new turbo. MTW needs tuning as well and is a rebuilt core. Last I recall MTW has changed direction no longer are they made off LLY or LBZ turbos.

Adding MPGs is difficult enough for these trucks. I recommend PHP FICM tuning and synthetic oil for better MPGs.

I vote for the hybrid, room to grow plus I think after the vgt relearn it would run pretty good with the stock tune
