More Power

The Turbo was getting a little tired, so I decided it was time to upgrade a little.  Nothing too crazy, I upgraded from a HE341 to an HE351cw.  Most wont understand what that means, I am replacing the turbo on my 2003 Dodge Cummins Engine with the turbo from a 2005 Dodge Cummins.  Very similar turbos, the new one has a smaller exhaust housing that allows it to spool up quicker, and a larger compressor housing that allows it to move more air when spooling up.  In return, it should have better throttle response, better acceleration, and lower EGTs.  Makes for a perfect combination when towing.  And at the same time, I replaced the exhaust manifold with a 2 piece high flow manifold from Diesel Power Source, and their Arctic Air Intake to help the air flow into the engine.  I am tuning the engine with the Bullydog Platinum Diesel Tuner that gives me 4 levels of power from Economy to Performance.
