So I've got a 08 f450 cclb .I have a pretty bad oil leak from the LP turbo. And oil cooler is starting to clog up. My question to everyone is I'd like to either go single or mildly upgrade the twins ,id like to go with tow power x setup but out of the budget. Looking to eventually make 600+ but with good street manners and towabality .

Fix your few little issues and pick up either a 71mm or 72mm lp turbo and call it a day. Best bang for the buck with great drivability.

I would not go single for the fact that they aren't that great towing, have had a 62-63-66 and none of them towed the way I wanted to even with using two different custom tuners. This was towing around 15k . The next 6.4 towing truck we did we actually left it stock w good tunes. Sold it before we messed with it anymore but I would suggest a 72 drop in. We have done several and there are night and day differences.

i would do a 71, 72, 73 or 75mm atmo charger with a 59mm hp charger. get some head studs and custom tunes and the truck will be a beast.
