I'm not saying AD is shitty, but you can get a better pump and more filtration for the same amount of $$$. But do a turbo kit. It should net you 600hp+ and might come with an intake. hipp11B has you covered on efi:thumb:

It's all in the tuning. There's plenty of lly trucks running around with turbos and transmissions and nothing else. If you put a big turbo on it with a lot of fuel and try to beat the crap out of it all the time it won't last forever.

I don't plan on beating the crap outta it I just didn't know what the factory setup was capable of. I thought studding the heads was something to do before a turbo. Good information to know though. What would be a good setup for power and fuel economy as it is my daily driver

Before you spend thousands of dollars why don't you get a lift pump, shim the FPRV, and get good max effort tunes from one of our supporting vendors and then see how you like it. Probably cheapest and most bang for your buck.:thumb:
Ok thanks. I'm still new so still learning diesel mods etc. What's the shim you are talking about?

Like I said before stock head bolts are about as good as your rods. Not needed until 60psi+.
If your stock turbos good look into a s475 or s480 compound setup.
