Not sure is this is the right forum, move accordingly.
Building up a 1988 DTA466 for my IH travelette, the MW pump has been juiced up 75% over stock, injectors opened and pressure matched. I haven't planned on any valve spring or pushrod modifications unless someone thinks it'd be a good idea. Not building a drag truck or hardcore puller, aiming for 500 hp daily driver/tow rig and take it to the local pulls. Now I've tried Garrett's turbo calculator but could never really figure it out, I'm completely fine with paying for a brand new ball bearing turbo so I can sleep at night knowing its new. I had a mild built 7.3 psd and that thing ate turbos like crazy (used low miles and rebuilt ones. Don't want to go through that again). Now with what I have done to it has anyone played with building up a 466 or similar diesel, what recommendations do you have? I don't want to run twins, hoping I can find one big enough to light quick and waste gate it so I don't over spool it and I don't want it smoking like a freight train. Thanks for taking time to read this guys!
