You must've been under a rock to not see any of the posts on Adrian's DuraStroke on this or any of the other 5 forums.
Much better Turbo for a lot less money, especially if you're running stock sticks and not planning on upgrading injectors which you'll need for a P-Maxx.

Ok, Ok, having too was strong and wrong. A powrmaxx is a good alternative to a replacement oem turbo. But the past theory's have been proven wrong by the Durastroke, specifically you must add fuel = Larger Injectors and More Air = Powermaxx or non VGT to increase HP & Tq.
Adrian AKA MadPowerStroke has proven a higher air to fuel ratio accomplishes both of the above and lowers EGT's.
Search the other forum's it truly is earth shattering what's been learned and perfected over the past few weeks.
My .02 YMMV

Apologies, just letting you and everyone else know there are other viable options, for less.
It's all good, hope you're happy with your P-Maxx, sell your OEM to Adrian or get it upgraded and sell the P-Maxx.... to someone that's still under a Rock..
I'm in Garland, Off G-Bush if you want to meet up off 75 we can.

I'm about to go from the powermax, back to stock... Does anyone on here have a powermax, manual trans, and haul in higher elevation (2000' and above)? Reason I ask is because I've been chasing a problem where my powermax is popping under throttle while towing. The place I bought it from said they have recently installed another one in a manual trans truck and its having issues also. he said he would take the powermax back for a full refund....that's awesome. I have a thread on here somewhere about the issue, I'm on mobile and can't reference it now. So, my question is, anyone have the powermax with an 06, and a manual trans?

I'm under that rock, Guess im too loyal to this fourm. The stage 1 durastroke is $700.00, which is a damn good price. Time will tell if this turbo is truley the aftermarket one to have. Looks like they army guys are looking to get to 500 rwhp! Looks like he is a aircraft mechanic &1 man band with a lot of potential for growth! madpowerstroke @ powerstroke army & dozerdiesel.com

Yep, it uses it, scavages the middle and front half, adds the turbine from a duramax and machines the internals to flow and run better.
Overall a perfect match for our stock and mildly modded trucks.

Durastroke should have done a year of testing before letting the cat out of the bag! Now there are more questions that answers. Originally per link (supplied) he was going to bust past the 500 rwhp in no time, now he's back peddling realizing how hard that is to do! Research, testing & more testing then make the hard fact statement's with dyno/track times to back it up. I will give him a lot of respect for the entrepreneur he is by designing/building/doing. Butt, If my Power Max went south, i could have another one in 2 days
