    Need to know more about what you are putting in it, before the discussion can even begin in a positive direction.

    There are a ton of BW turbos.

    Saying "I have a cat engine" doesn't tell us anything. Is it a 5EK? 6NZ? What year is it? We need details

    Btw ... Don't buy a bully dog turbo just because of a name .... You can spec a BW SXE400 series turbo that'll do whatever you want....

    Do you know any specs on your old bd bw turbo?
