with you saying you want to sled pull, do you have a class in mind? That would narrow down the list of chargers for sure

A "2.6" is an S366... You are gonna want a charger that fits 2.6 rules. Lots of options but imho you are going to want to call Danville as they build turbos

You said a "true 2.6" hence my sarcasm :D guys seem to run pretty well with an S475 of some variation with a 2.6 cover. How much are you looking to spend? A billet custom S475 is lots of money.

What kind of connecting rods are you running? I'm only asking because I didn't see it mentioned, and you're definitely going to want something better than stock if you plan to make much power.

As far as I know, THE 2.6 turbo for pulling is an HX60 from Hart's Diesel. At least that's what the Cummins guys I know are running.

I've seen at least a couple of these for sale on CompD lately but I think it would be miserable to drive on the street. Tough to find a charger that will be competitive pulling and still maintain some street manner.

give mark from Danville a call. you could easily spool a s475 with that fuel, and he can get you a 2.6 cover too!
thats what i was thinking i just wanted to make sure it would be compatitive like i said im completly turbo ignorant..... has anyone tried to dd the hx 60????

The charger on my truck came off of a very competitive sled truck and it drives really nice. It's a Bullseye s375/87/.90 and can make around 900rwhp. For the newest tech from Bullseye with a 2.6 cover expect to spend close to 3k. You can try the Holsets, but there's a ton of Dmax's driving around with BW based sled pulling chargers with hardly any issues.

That charger from Isaac is a good deal. :thumb:
