My daily driver is a 98.5 24v with a blue chips VP, airdog150, and 7x.010 injectors. It runs awesome, hardly smokes at all. Even at WOT, and tows fine. It really ran great when it had a smarty on it. This truck has 465k on it too. Still gets 20mpg and is dead reliable. I have another truck we just worked on which is a 110k mile 99. We put 7x.010s in it, and a new reman VP44 from area diesel with a stock lift pump. (Customer's choice) It has a comp box on it but doesn't need it. That truck will blow boots off at 42psi when the converter locks. It smokes with the comp on, but nothing that isn't controllable with your foot. Both trucks have HX35w's.

Now, for turbo or turbos. A small S300 is what I'd go with but you can make good power with a HX35. If you plan to make 400 on up, use a S300. On injectors, my brother builds them and if you'd like a price on them I can get you the info and prices. I can also get you a turbo or what ever else you may need. For tow twins you can run your stock HX35, drill the divider through the center and to a larger hole. Put a S471 under it and you will have a nice spooling set of turbos that can make 500hp reliable and clean.

Thanks for the information I have a new remain Bosch vp pump and the fass I have is a 150 motor has 175xxx. On the injectors I have read the more hole help Atomizes fuel better which help with smoke and if the spray pattern don't hit the bowl right it can cause higher egt's. And as for turbos I have really done a lot of reading on compounds man there's so many to choose from and so many problems if you don't get them matched up lazy or laggy spooling or if the turbo are to close in size it causes the drive pressure to spike up to high and if one is to small it chokes the other and no clear info on a programmer some say you have to have for adding timing some was saying it was not nesserey one was said timing cause smoke some said it help prevent it. And first chance you get shot me some prices and information on the injectors from your brother thanks
