Great turbo
I am very pleased with this new turbo I have stock injectors and it still works great quick spool up fits well only issues I had
1 adjust the waste gate BEFORE installing turbo you will thank yourself...
2 silicone boot was to long didn't fit the greatest but it does seal up well
3 the kit should come with a extra 4 inch clamp for the silicone boot I didn't feel stock hose clamp was best choice lucky I had a extra boost clamp like the one in the kit
But over all I am very pleased with the kit and id recommend it to anyone wanting a better turbo -

One of the best aftermarket upgrade to date
I have a dp tuner, regulated fuel return, 4" exhaust turbo back, cold air intake, and factory injectors.
Before I had the stock turbo with a WW and now with the 38r I have a lot more torque espically at and above the 1800 RPM mark. I read about how loud they were but it is very close to the factory turbo with a wicked wheel.
As far as boost levels go I seeing a max of 32psi and big drop in EGTs. I wil only hit 1000 degrees (unloaded) if I am on a long hill and lugging in OD. I did get the ceramic coated up pipes and had the turbo ceramic coated as well. I don't know if that is why I am seeing higher than average boost numbers but I love it.
I would recommend a cold air intake first. It will let your new turbo breath and give you something to hook the new 4" boot to. -
Great!
Riffraff is the best.

38R Turbo Upgrade and Install:)
Turbo was very easy to install and made a noticeable amount of additional power with the Dp-tuner set on modified stock with Stage 1.5s. My only complaint was that this turbo should be sent with the additional 4in pipe that installes between the boot or hose they supply and the factory intake. Other than that I can't wait to run down some Dodges:)

Great Turbo
I bought this turbo to replace my stock one back in November and has been great ever since. Spools up fast, sounds like a jet engine, and less smoke. Only issue I had was the intake boot was a little long but I made it work. This is a great turbo!! Oh and check your up pipes, much easier to change while your switching turbos.

Awesome Turbo!!!
This was a great addition to my truck. It just runs so much better, I can't wait to pull my 5th wheel. Had stock turbo w/Banks 1.0 AR housing, ATS compressor housing and Wicked Wheel. No comparison!
Sounds like jet plane! Also EGT's down, power up, less smoke!
I got ceramic coated turbine housing, love it!
The turbo is all around top quality. Comes with everything for install!
Check your up-pipes before doing turbo, much easier to do while turbo is out.
