Will I still have the carcass. I’ll go get some pics it’s been raining it’s ass off all day. But I don’t have any plans for the turbo. I’m not gonna spend the money for a cartridge for a turbo that’s not gonna hold up to the the abuse. I abuse the everloving hell out of my truck. But I feel...

Warwagon I can’t in good conscious use a garrett turbo simply for the fact that’s what they put on ford trucks lol. The Borg Warner S300 is the king of the block right now I believe, atleast for cummins & duramax trucks. Alot of people use a s400/s300 compound setup too. They are about $1300 but...

I didn’t intend to come on here & bash the turbo or the guy that sells them. Sorry if it sounded like that. I wasn’t aware you could get parts. But I messaged him through this forum a long while ago and didn’t get a response. Shit happens. It’s all good. I ain’t even trippin about that turbo...

Well just for the record guys I melted the ATT’s exhaust turbine about two weeks into having it installed. Effectively turning it into a $800 paperweight. Tried to see about a new cartridge from dennis but I never got a reply. F It. Never again. I’ve got a he351ve on my 12v now. Runs excellent...

Been playin with my 89' RCLB 12V 5spd since I posted last.. My 95' is currently sitting motorless on dry-rotted tires. Somebody randomly came along and offered me over $1k for the 6.5L, and I was hopin it would go to a good home, but the dumbass let a known turbo drain leak drain all but 1qt...

They did have issues with valve float, that would cause them to get bent yes. It's fixable though with stronger valve springs. That's a requirement if I wanted to install a 3200 or 3800rpm gov spring. Ok, so the ATT can hang with the temps. Sweet. I'm not really lookin to spend $600 on a qsv...

Glad you chimed ww. I was hopin to hear from you since technically this was your idea first, I think. Thing is, I'm gettin 28-30psi w/ the stocker h1c, 52mm comp- ?? Turbine- 21.5cm3 housing 40hp fuel pin, timing bumped up ~7° (14° stock, 20-21° pump advance), fuel screw to runaway backed off...

Howdy TTS peeps, long time no talk. I have recently bought a 89' sclb d350 12v 5speed. Hate to say it but I love it. Robbing the old red truck of gauges, and it gave me an idea. ATT on my 12v? Thoughts, opinions? Will the ATT hold together @ 40psi??

I got my FTB from walking j. @300mi I would really check all the suspension bushing and body pucks while your at it. Mine are half rotted at 270k

The 1000° egt's is most likely because of ~20° ambient temps. There could have been a lot of factors at play, humidity even maybe. I really need to invest in gmtdscan so I can see what my iat's look like and such and set the tdco and all. I wish I had more information to give. Do you guys think...

That's probably what'll end up happening to mine eventually. That's exactly what mine did minus the damage lol. Can't explain that brother. Maybe did you tell him you tow a little so he didn't make it as "hot" as mine? He asked me if I towed and I told him no, even though I may pull a little...

Will it require swapping to a 93 style radiator? That's the main reason I haven't already put a spool valve on it. That would put the cost for the whole setup including cost of turbo over $1500 and for that I could do a lot compared to ~$600 to swap a cko hx40. But if not I would definitely be...

Well I definitely won't be doin that lol

Yea I planned on lifting it ~9" and runnin 40's so I would have to drop the gears to 4.56 or maybe even a 5.13. Actually the cost of a straight axle, springs and all the brackets is about the same as a good full 6" diff drop lift, but the straight axle would be a lot more durable and allow me...

Just thought that I would add that I plan on making the truck look very similar to this soon, so mpg are out the window. Just wondering if there would be any other ill effects from totally sealing off the bigger of the scrolls. Planned on adding a 8" single center- offset miter cut stack to the...
