okay im kinda new here but ive been looking at turbos and reading everyones disscussions about singles vs twins and others. im looking to make 700 hp a solid 700. it will be a daily driver but no twoing with it and maybie some drag racing. not to conserned about spool up as long as its not to bad. and im wondering about turbos and i need it to be relitivly cheap. 8k on turbos is a bit much.
heres what ive been looking at..

industrial injection phat shafts
elete tow power compunds
elete tow power x... seem a bit pricy though.
custon twins. ( i can fab things up, not sure which twins i would use)
bulleseye s 475 ( really been lookin at this.)
mpd 66
gt 4294?
s 346 or s362 paired up with a s483 or 488? make my own twins?

if anyone has anything to add let me know and i want to make around 700+ and it will be a dd. give me your opinions on this.

The tow power x seems like a great set up. Having to make your own set up you can run into tuning hurdles, sizing them correctly, housings etc. If it isn't right the first time you could have a lot of down time dialing it in. As a dd to much down time gets old. LOL just something to keep in the back of your head.

It's been proven that 700+ can be achieved with Tow Powers. I would definitely consider them if cost is a concern.

The s475 would be great on a competition truck. I wouldn't want to put it on a daily driver though. I saw a video of local shops play/pulling truck with that charger on it and it smokes pretty good just going through the gears.

We have a 75 kit and have on my dd make 849 on fuel with stock heads and manifold with 100% nozzles and can drive with no smoke and have fun with it
Can't tow that's out of the question

Like Craig said he drives his every day with minimal smoke at a low elevation. The truck is very driveable What elevation are you at

I have the s372 on mine and i haven't tried it with the .90 housing. The s475 for your elevation should be fine

any truck with 100% nozzles is gonna smoke through the gears....

spending the extra money on turbos and not on fuel system stuff is the best way to stay reliable.

whats the s372 putting out and daily driving wise. so in all opinions the s475 would be decent for daily driving but not that exspensive

If you're not towing and are gonna do fuel upgrades, I would do an s475. Someday if you want to tow again, throw an s362 on with it, change up the exhaust housing on the s475 and have fun.
