Kukje turbos

Hello Balazar,

Thanks for adding your expertise to this. It is appreciated. From my past experience with turbos (Mazda RX7, Toyota 22re and a Banks Kit in installed on an F250D) I believe I can easily do a 5lb boost with at most a slight tweek on the fuel pump. Since I'm at 3k ft. my goal here is to get the performance I'd have at sea level and maybe a touch more. Personally, after installing the Banks kit on my old F250 I've never understood how non-turbo'd diesels could generate enough power to get out of their own way. That thing made a huge difference.

I think you will have fun with this little project and easily attain your goal + more with just the turbo and a little injection pump tuning. I live at 8400'. I understand exactly why you want the turbo. with a 3% penalty on HP for every 1000' above sea level, it really cuts into your usable power.
