I have a 97, 4x4, F-250 with the 7.3 in it.  I have a tuner, exhaust, intake, and propane injection.  What would be the best after market mod to the turbo.  I looked at the BDP dominator 66 turbo but i don't know anyone that has one to see how they last.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  THANKS

In my experiance with turbos, I can tell you that a BDP turbo is mainly goood for Cummins engine. Try ATS or a Garret 62

the bdp dominator 66 was a good turbo for me but with your set up id go a different route. and so you know the d-66 is good for up to 400hp, with my current setup im well passed 400 lol

350hp to 425hp

What kind of tuner do you have?  


Let the good coal roll
Warning !!!! I have an opinion and I am not afraid to use it !!!!!!

I have a superchips max micro tuner.  Supposed to add 140 hp on the highest setting and the propane is supposed to add 100 hp.  Do you think i will be able to tell a difference between the dominator and the stock turbo?  Also does anyone know what the dominator sounds like, i like a nice loud whistle?  
Thanks.

ditch the superchips pos programmer and get a dp-tuner. just cause it says its gonna add 140hp ya gotta remember the stock injectors are only good for pushing around 75hp.
