I'm running an 04 PD with VNT-17, Taco SMIC, Peloquin, PD150/R783's, Stage 3 Bully Clutch, and Malone tune.

I'm looking to do a PD150 intake and bigger exhaust in the near future. I've bought a set of VR6 flanges just in case.

Future improved intake and exhaust gains aside I'm not finding this combo to be enough for me, I want(need) more. Have a TB due in 25k, may do a cam then.

This will be a daily driver, long country commute, no city stuff. I'm thinking 2056 or 2260 but haven't driven anything like that. Should I be thinking more 1756 or 2056?

If you can find a 2056 that would ideal, but a 1756 would do the trick and be a great turbo for a daily driver. IMO

1756,1856, or 2056.... Low and mid-range power, responsive, and the potential to produce 230 whp. I would do the exhaust, before the intake manifold.

Whatever you choose, try to stick to a GTB-based unit. I consider this more important than choosing +/- one frame size on the turbine, i.e. GT17/18/20.

Thank you all for your input.

LNXGUY, the exhaust is on the list ;), things didn't come together exactly as I had planned. I hadn't intended to put in the Peloquin as soon as I did, but found one used and just couldn't say no. The injectors also did not work out as originally envisioned.
