Trying decide on an Turbo setup

Super08Duty · Nov 11, 2013

To the op, if whistle is all your looking for… I wouldn't recommend a single. singles don't whistle like a nice set of ball bearing compounds because the exhaust note is so loud. a single won't spool up or be as easy to daily drive as compounds. thats not an opinion, its fact. They're only good at relatively low altitude. Find a nice set of elite chargers and have a blast with them.

I live in Louisiana and it's not a high altitude down here lol

Word on the street is the Comp S371 runs pretty damn strong on a 6.4L as a single

I could never give up the versatility of compounds.

I am in the same boat with compounds. Trying to decide if I should just to go with a 72 atmo or swap out both for a 59/71-72 setup.

i'm in the same boat, i started with a 71 then moved to a 73 now trying to decide whether to do a 59...it never ends

Are the 72mms from Barder available to everyone yet?

While we are on the subject here, what is it that makes some of Elite's setups whistle like they do? Is it mostly the precision HP and what part is mostly responsible for it? Compressor wheel, turbine wheel, ball bearing?

Does the modded, stock housing 62 whistle like the precision 62 in the High Powers?

It's the low pressure turbine in the 76 and up atmos that whistle like crazy

I meant 73mm.

59/73 would be legit.

I have a single HTT Comp S371, and it so far is the best set up I've had on my truck. It spools effortlessly and has some crazy top end pull. It also sounds pretty gnarly.

Here a video just for sound reference. ( yes I know I need a new windshield )

I agree completely. That was more or less my point. I'm a liar though because I don't have a signature resume! LOL

My next question is, does the Jr. High Power drop-in atmosphere turbo have the same turbine that whistles like crazy? Or is it different since it's not ball bearing?

High power jr's don't whistle that much. Not the same turbine as the ball bearing precision 76.
