TURBO

The best all around turbo for diesel vehicles was determined on a Diesel Power Magazine test this week. they tested many turbos and the best was a fairly small turbo for an aftermarket upgrade but it spooled faster and built just as much boost, power, and torque as the bigger turbos. here is some info on the best turbo for mild upgrades.

Aurora 3000 Turbo
The winning turbo was the 57mm-inducer Aurora 3000 offered by ATS. As it was advertised to support 350 to 450 hp. As it turned out, the Aurora 3000 actually spooled quicker than the stock version, especially during part-throttle conditions. It also made more boost, peaking at 49 psi (compared to 42 psi for the HX35). And although EGT still hit 1,550 degrees, that peak temperature came a lot later in the dyno run. The Aurora 3000 also made more power, peaking at 449 rwhp and 1,041 lb-ft of torque. There were no driveability issues (such as lag or surging), but high EGT levels revealed the limits of the 3000’s horsepower range.

      It spools quicker but still creates big boost numbers for a fairly light modified pickup.

    Sounds like the underdog won this competition.
