    Does anybody know what is the best turbo for 1999 12.7 Detroit Diesel series 60?
    Is it PDI turbo with the nozzles or Pittsburgh Power turbo?

    I am really thinking about installing pdi manifold and turbo on my 1999 series 60. Doing my research and reading comments to see if this is a good idea.

    I have read info that the full tilt manifold is a couple hundred cheaper from pp than it is from full tilt itself, or pdi check on these prices before you buy. Good luck.

    I just started a thread the other day about doing pdi manifold and turbo for my 12 liter cat and was wandering about boost lag and lower end power. Can’t seem to get a verdict from anyone that has done it. Yeah I’m sure you get tons of power but sacrifice low end. Let me know what you come up with
