What injectors are they?

200hp, so pretty much 100% overs I believe
It's amazing how well turbo set ups work with a very large turbine on the low pressure. Pretty much put 150 hp on JD with almost the same compressor sides. Been saying this forever lol. Happy for you Erik that's awesome. Headed down in a bit to go check it out. When you coming to get it?
Another advantage not mentioned is you can run a larger turbo mostly on the exhaust side because your not worried about hitting the intake manifold with the exhaust housing. This allows for a little laggier low pressure but in my opinion this is better all around for all applications towing and performance.

.... Except my turbine and Mal's are withing 1mm of each other and Mal's truck made the same power with less fuel. Same with Shone's...
My truck has an issue lol

If Eric put 150 on jd with 38s or whatever is on it jd def has a problem

Yeah, chasing them down with no time seems to be the biggest issue at the moment.
Congrats Erik!

True but his housing is much bigger.

Just buy the same 88 as Erik and convert yours to remote mount jd. I think you'd like it
But you have more mass air flow from a larger atmo but less turbine. And high back pressure to go with it. Back pressure is like having an exhaust brake on

Even though I might like it, I won't be buying another turbo for a long time lol.

I agree... my back pressure is 1 psi higher than Erik's is with same same boost out of the atmosphere though.

Wouldn't turbine restriction show in back pressure numbers though? The pressure is a measure of restriction just like boost is, right?
I'm with you 100% that my 88 won't flow the same volume as Clausen's (on the exhaust side) which has its advantages, but I don't believe that's why my truck is 200 horse shy of where I anticipated it being.
Plus, the turbos on my truck have made 4 digits on fuel on a dynojet...
