Southern IN? Eh! We are here! I guess campsprings jon is not too far..somewhere south of that thar river...?
GLAD the truck is doing good with the new turbo!

 

Did you guys figure anything out on his truck? If not, put a big rubber tire on the front of yours so you can push him up the mountains! Just kidding, hope his truck makes it home ok.

I'm glad that turbo is working so good for you. It really does make me wonder about that 1.0 housing. I've always heard they RAISED the exhaust temps more. But you said you're boosting almost 500rpm less and you're boosting higher, so I guess that is why they are lower?

Still been wondering how it would work with my setup.

 

We made it home safe and sound. The old Ford did pretty well. I love that 1.00 housing. The trailer weighed about 20k. I had much higher boost numbers at lower rpms and as long as I kept it below 3200rpms when pulling hard I didn't have any egt problems. It would stay below 1200*. Now for 3.55 geared trucks pulling heavy loads I could see where egts could be a problem. But with 4.10s and having boost earlier, its a perfect combination.

With the 1.15 (stock) housing I would have to keep the rpms near redline to keep power and keep egts down and I still didn't have as much boost or power.

Mikes truck played the same games today. We are pretty sure its the injection pump (cp3) or the reg. We at least got it home pulling the lighter trailer. That thing will run circles around my truck power wise when its running like its suppose to. Thanks again to everyone!!

Darin I would say with stage ones and the 1.0 housing you would probably over boost when pulling and I doubt the turbo would last long. However if the turbo could last with high boost pressure I would say it would be an animal!! I believe Borg Warner makes a ball bearing version of TP38, I think its the TP38R. I bet that would hold up under high boost situations.

 

Pictures look great Chris. Glad you guys made it back ok and that turbo works as good as it does for you. I never thought of the higher boost numbers than the stock turbo wants when I was thinking of this. I hit 25+ pretty easy on some hills already, in overdrive, with exhaust leaks, which will be fixed soon. I'll just stay where I'm at till I can upgrade to a bigger turbo.

Thanks Chris.

 

I ran the 1.0 housing for years and it finally did my turbo in. I got the D66 now and the way I understand it with a bigger wheel its like a 1.0 housing but Travis better weigh in on that.

 

Glenn, you had stage ones with your 1.0 housing, correct? I didn't know the d66 had the 1.0 housing. What kind of boost numbers are you getting Glenn?

 

They are probably stage 1's, don't know for sure. If I understand the D66 correctly, its a bigger wheel in a stock turbo so its equivalent to a 1.0 housing. I can get 30lbs out of it. There is no need for you to worry about it taking your turbo out, I pulled heavy with it for several years. I read that the 1.0 can speed up the life span of a turbo but I don't think its that much 'speed up' to be concerned about.

 

i have been running the 1.0 housing with stage ones and i love how responsive it is almost no turbo lag and boost is always there ready to go i wish i could video tape it but it is hard to drive and video tape it but i rebuilt the turbo when i put the housing on 33 to 35 psi is made easy

 

That is the thing Ronnie. Very much of that 33-35 psi and that turbo isn't going to be around long. I rebuilt mine a few years ago and it is in great shape yet. I'm not going to get that housing, just save up for a bigger turbo. I know I would like it for however long it lasted, but it works ok now, so no need to push it anymore.

 

Thanks Glenn. I am not planning on keeping this turbo when I go to stage ones anyway. I have really been leaning towards the D66 due to it being a bolt on. I get 28psi with the 1.0 housing and stock injectors. I am sure with my towing I would burn it up in no time with stage ones. I have read the stock turbo will only hold 30psi for the long term and going over shortens its life quickly.

Wish I could have done the D66 this time around instead of having to go stock. Oh well, guess I didn't have much of a choice!! haha

 

Ya, that's the thing about being on the side of the road, you'll do about anything to get going again.

 

but it is my daily driver i normally only see up to 15 psi 5 crusing only time i hit 35 was in my hottest tune i keep my truck in 80 ecno where 33 is the cap

 

Yep. Mine is not a daily driver. All it gets used for is towing heavy so my boost numbers would be quite high anytime I use it. Not worth it to me I guess. I had a pretty dramatic change upwards in boost already changing to the 4.10 gears.
