Did you not like the 7 blade KTS wheel or did you try another one after that?

I understand not wanting to share numbers because people seem to take it personal talking about turbos. What I would really like to see though, is the difference in peak hp/tq if you make a pull with and without WMI.

No, there not all 56mm. The pictures are quite a bit different from mine. Mine is a 6 blade compressor. Just looking at it, that inducer looks larger. Looking at mine from the front, the inducer actually looks odd (small) compared to the compressor cover.Mine also has 6 holes on the back for a...

Ive got the the same turbo and took it apart and measured it before install. The inducer is 56mm. It came on the volvo d7 engines. Turbo was specific to volvo though as "volvo" is cast in the tubine housing, not to mention the goofy exhaust flange. I thought they ran one unless they just used...

First thing to pop out at me was the smaller hub on the billet wheel by what looks like a good couple millimeters, very nice.

Looks like what I did with my holset except that is much prettier.

Turbo discussion without anybody getting butt hurt, this is nice.

Trying something different?

I say put it in a rear engine dragster, get the biggest pump unique diesel has, lose the turbo and throw massive amounts of nitrous at it. It will be expensive and may only make it 60 feet but could possibly be the best 60' time ever for a 6.5.

I am a machinist not a writer and don't always get what I am trying to say across. I don't have any proof high egts kill engines and have no doubt that ATT can take the heat. I just know from my experience with Att he shouldn't have been running that hot empty unless something was off. I was...

^Exactly. Good flow in and out are mandatory for ATT. When I first installed mine still had stupid SSdiesel hot air intake. Truck didn't like it in the summer. Only good part was being able to get in front of somebody that cut me off or annoyed me for some reason, rap the go pedal and watch the...

Last thing, I highly recommend a blanket for it. I actually could feel a difference with it plus the underhood temp reduction. Even after a long hard pull, I could lay my hand on it. On a non wastegated housing it is a no brainer. I had a walking J and was a nice unit but sure you could get one...

I didn't see it mentioned but if you can you should run a prefilter. I killed my frc10 in a little over a year by not having one. Ran intermittent then just quit. When I took it apart it was all scored up inside. I had a frb5 before that and I hope it is still running good for Tanman.

Sorry it took so long to get back in here fellas, I get busy this time of year. I have had my truck since 98 so I am no stranger to the 6.5. First engine was replaced at 70,000 with a crack down no. 8 cylinder. It wasn't a knock on the ATT. It is definately an improvement over stock and the...
