Afe torque converter or turbo?

Gmoney69 · Sep 1, 2014

Hey guys been reading for a while on here and finally sighned up.
My question is, do you think it would be more beneficial to install an afe converter or save up some more $$$ for a 15' turbo? I know they're two totally doffernt parts , but afe claims up to 1 sec off 0-60 , that's huge imo and I could do that sooner than a bigger turbo. I'm just not sure .. Sorry for the noob question.

I dd the truck and use it for towing , but also like to play.. .2013 6.7l Upgrades as of now are h&s canned tunes soon to be gearhead I think. Deleted. S&b intake, Egr blocked off and h&s filter conversion. Thanks in advance

Would put the money on a single kit or the 2015.. Trust me you can put a converter but you're still gonna lose.

Thanks. I was looking at the billet 2015 turbo. But if
The 2015 trucks are going
To be tunable w delete maybe I'll just wait and do that.

I read the turbo is the only genuine change on the 2015 trucks. You can make your 2013 equivalent to a 2015 by upgrading the turbo. You should consider a 2017 if you plan to trade in on a new truck.

why 2017? Haven't heard anything on those or 16? So you think turbo over converter absolutely ? Anyone else ?

I have no advice on the torque converter vs new turbo question. I think a new turbo is an awesome upgrade, but expensive as hell. In regards to the 2017, they're suppose to be coming out with a complete remodel. The 2015 is the same model, except for the different turbo.

get the billet 2015 turbo upgrade kit from Morgan @ Midwest diesel. couple that with gearhead custom tunes and that will be money well spent. forget the torque convertor
