Pre dpf i installed area diesel service s single turbo conversion kit.
If i do the conversion i was planning on using the acert 625 injectors modified by far call 70 pin ecm haney tune 1000hp marine cam industrial cylinder pack s and keeping the twin turbo set up.
And if ran it right and kept it around that 67 i could get over 6mpg.
I found a caterpillar c15 twin turbo that will never breakdown or blow a turbo.
Soon after mine came out they changed to a different design and named it different.
They are top of the line and they well make your twin turbo cat run and get fuel milage to.
I used to have 06 pete 550hp diidnt run worth a crap was getting 4 to 4 5 mpg i took it to one of there shops.
